The Castner knives

[Lagrange]

Here is a set of three knives I made for a customer for a family Christmas present. The blades are 440c 5/32" thick by Approx. 9". The scales are crotch cut walnut with aluminum corbies and stainless tubes. The sheathes all have a howling wolf along with the year inscribed at the bottom and initials at the top and strap.
This was a lot of work. I had no idea that making knives alike could be so stressful.
Take a look. I hope you like.

Nice work Eric.
I don't know how people do it.....
Your leather work is great, I made one sheath today and that's all I did. I'd rather have a colostomy than do leather work, and it shows. Great package, I hope they appreciate it.

I agree with you on trying to make alike knives and I agree with what Rudy and Mikey said.
Three great combos.

Beautiful set Eric. I'm sure they will love them.

Hey guys I appreciate your kindness. I really enjoy the leatherwork as much as the knife work.
The guy (Mr. Castner) was super excited and wanted a bunch of my buisness cards to hand out to his friends and co-workers.

I cant express how much your comments mean to me...because you guys love to do what I love to do, you are an extension of my family.

I mean it, thanks!

Triple play, out'a the park!

After the knife is finished I'm anxious to get to the sheath, I find it very relaxing.

The guy (Mr. Castner) was super excited

I imagine he was!! Probably one of the best Christmas gifts I've ever seen. Very cool project and beautifully executed, Eric.:thumbup1:

Beautiful work Eric, both on the knives and sheaths. And so Mr Castner should have been thrilled with them.

Really nice Eric. Making knives that are alike is a challenge. I did a pair last year for Christmas. Your leather work looks really nice too!
