I made myself a work knife.
3" 1095 blade with file work
Red Micarta scales
Mosaic pin
Skully Sheath

Thanks George
Cute is kind of what I was after. The powers to be at my day job are getting a bit touchy/feelie about knives. Plus, every time I make myself a knife, someone wants to buy it. None of the guys at work will want this one. LOL!
 
Nice little worker. You can do so many everyday chores with a 3' - 3 1/2" fixed blade. It looks like you put a big comfy handle on it as well.
 
just noticed the skull on your sheath that's awesome! That takes away some of the cuteness!!
 
Thanks Guys! Arock I am a aceptic mechanic at a tomato processing facility. I read the article in Blade Magazine by Ed Fowler about promoting your knives. Because of the article, I made this blade and carry it to work. I just got orders for two more of this pattern knife from guys I work with. Thanks ED!

Oh there is no better advertising than have one of your knives on you and using it in any public or work setting..

Another thing I did with great success was to take my knives with the blades taped up to the local dog park to let my mutt run around and do the finally hand sanding on the handles of my knives.

People would ask, what are you doing? I sold a lot of my knives my first couple of years doing that. All of the Animal control people knew me and many police from this. Several purchased my knives.

That is an awesome idea laurence thank you.
 
Looks great! Man I gotta learn that leather business, it really pops when you can build nice knife and finish it with a sheath like that, nice work as always.
