Pair of Bird & Trouts in Ironwood and Bocote

[P J 234]

Hi all,

I just finished up this pair of small hunters, and would value any feedback or critique anyone is willing to offer (design, craftsmanship, materials choices, photos, etc.) Thanks in advance for your comments!

- 1/8" O-1 w/ full-height flat grinds
- ~3" tip to plunge, ~7 1/2" OAL
- Bocote scales on clip point (these almost looked bookmatched before I worked them, but they sure turned out very differently when finished.)
- Desert Ironwood scales on drop point
- Hand rubbed satin finish on blades
- Stainless pins and thong tubes

Those look great bud. Nice fit n finish, design and execution. I bet the sheaths will be great as well.

Very nice P J.. The Bocote looks cool. I need to try some of that kinda wood one day!

Thanks Randy! This was my first time using Bocote, but it won't be my last. I really like the way it turned out and it was easy to work with. Definitely give it a try if you like the way it looks.

Good looking knives in a good size. I agree about the Bocote, it really is pretty wood.
