I'm not nearly as great a knifemaker as many of these artists here but I thought I'd share a few of my recent pieces I've completed for customers. You all have been such great help and amazing inspiration that one day I hope to make some amazing stuff like you all do. My next venture will be into forging and trying my hand at damascus.
THANKS FOR LOOKING. Please feel free to provide suggestions and recommendations on how I can improve my trade and skills. I'm still working on my photography skills too. Sorry if the pics are a bit blurry.
This first one is part of my "Companion" line.
Steel: 440c 57-59hrc - satin finish
Bolster: 303SS
Accent: Inlaced Acryester - Blue Steel
Handle: Stabilized zebra wood.
This next one is a custom requested for a display piece. Of course as a maker, nothing is strictly display. I just made it more pretty than most of my other works.
Steel: 440c 57-59hrc - mirror polish
Guard: Brass
Accent: Orange/Green micarta (home made)
Handle: Elk antler from Colorado
Sheath: 7-8oz leather with green felt leather insert.
Last one here is a modification from a survival model I designed for a friend to make it more slimline from spine to edge.
Steel: CPM-3v 60hrc (probably my favorite steel on a knife / least favorite to grind) - satin finish
Furnishings: Brass bolsters and accent spacers.
Accents: Orange/Green micarta (home made)
Handle: Cocobolo wood up front with mule deer antler shed in back from Northern Wyoming.
