    One More for Janesville

    Here is another medium hunter that will be going to the Badger Show. I used O1, 1095 and 15n20 for the Damascus and arranged my steels in this billet to highlight my 15n20. Creating the ladder pattern highlighted the 15n20 right down the middle of the blade. The bolsters are 1084 & 15n20...

    Feather Hunter for the Badger Show

    I just finished this medium size hunting knife that I'll have at the Badger Show in Janesville Wisconsin this weekend. The "feather" pattern isn't the traditional style but rather I think that it looks like sparks off of a grinder. I'm not sure really what I should call it. The steels I used...

    Feather and Mammoth Liner Lock

    I just completed this folder and will have it with me this weekend at the Ohio Classic Knife Show in Cambridge Ohio. The blade has 5 different steels, W2, 1084, L6, 15n20 and 1095. I used the L6 because it was 5/8" thick and I thought that it would add to the contrast of the pattern. The...

    One More for the AG Russell Knife Event

    This is the last one that I can make before the AG Russell Knife Event this weekend. It's just a little larger than a normal bird and trout but I guess that it could be called a "goose and salmon" knife but somehow I'd go with the B & T. The blade is a ladder pattern that came out of a basket...
