Hi guys. This knife has been finished for a couple of weeks now, but my computer has been on the fritz... so downloading photos and processing was on hold for a while. Apparently tonight, the computer has agreed to start working agian :confused:... so here goes. Some Stats: Length...

Ben... this is one of your nicest knives yet. :thumbup: Will you be making a sheath or saya for it? Great work. Erin

What type of steel are you etching, and what are you using for solution? Erin

SOLD - Bog Oak Hunter/Fighter Up for sale is a sweet little knife fitted with a piece of 5460 year old Bog Oak for the handle. I've been calling it a "Bog Oak Hunter", but several folks have voiced the opinion that it might be more appropriately classified as a fighter than a hunter due to the...

Ceramic belts won't even scuff carbide. I don't have a BB file guide, buy I use my Riverside Machine (Uncle Al) file guide all day long against a 36-grit ceramic hogger. Nothing. :biggrin: Carbide is good juju. :thumbup: Erin

Thanks for the feedback guys. I appreciate the kind words. Originally I was a bit nervous about this wood. It's kind of a novelty, but I wasn't sure how it would look on a knife. Seems like it was tailor-made for this one though. It can be a bit tricky to finish… but well worth it. Thanks...

Good afternoon Dogs... hope everyone had a great weekend. I've been working on the knife below for the past few weeks. I had originally planned to make a matching pair of these little hunters (I've been told that this knife may be more appropriately called a "fighter"), but one of them had...

Thanks Brad. Fingers-crossed that somebody picks it up before somebody else buys that drum set off eBay. :biggrin:

Price dropped once again. I'd like to get this knife out-the-door because there's a drum kit on eBay that I really want. Come on folks... give me some disposable funds. :3::biggrin:

After looking at some of the "first" knives on this thread, I got to wondering... were none of you ever kids? First knives with fitted guards and engraving???... really?:9: What happened to all of those blades that you forged out of mystery steel... wasting all of your dad's gas through a...

Let's bring this baby back up to the top with another price adjustment.

SOLD - Redwood Burl Mini-Chop Recurve Good morning Dogs, I've been holding onto this guy until I could clean up the scratch in the sheath (visible in the first photo). Using the magic of a touch-up coat of Gel Antique, it is now all but invisible. The plan for this knife was for a dark...

Thanks guys. Dan & Laurence... you both asked about the fullers. They were milled in (not forged) prior to heat treat. After tempering, I soaked the blade in vinegar over-night, then ran a small wire wheel (on a dremel) down the fuller to knock off the loose scale. This left a rough finish...

{Cross-posted w/ BF} I finished this one a couple of weeks ago before heading out of town for a week in Golden, BC to take part in my sister's wedding. I got back yesterday, and knocked out these photos this morning. I'm calling this knife a tanto... though the materials and construction...

Hahahahaha!!! :s12137: I don't know why this makes me smile, but it does. :biggrin: Awesome work so far Bruce. Erin

Walla Walla, Washington... why you live next door to one of the best knifemakers around. Luck-eeee!!! Erin

Nice work Karl. :thumbup: That is a very interesting piece of redwood. What is the guard material?... it has a slight yellowish tint to it in the photo. Erin

Thanks Karl. These days, most of my knives don't have an official flat ricasso. It's a bit more work fitting up the guard, but a lot less work at the plunges. :3: Scott, it's not a take-down... it's a hidden-tang bedded in Acraglas with a single 1/8" SS domed pin. It is difficult to see in...

I think that the next one up for me will be a little hunter with some of that 5k year old bog oak... but I'll put ferric and copper on my list of things-to-do. I may even have some blondish maple burl lying around. :biggrin: Hey Rex... the more knives I make, the more I realize that I'm not...

Knife #27 - Toasted Redwood Burl Fighter {cross-posted with BF} Good morning dogs. It's been awhile since I've posted here. This knife has been almost done for the better part of a month, but I finally got around to finishing the sheath and taking (last minute) photos on Monday night...
