Believe it or not, I just found this subforum.

Here ya go. The first post starts with knives from about 2016

This was my first. The blade is a blank from usaknifemaker. I made 3 of these, one for me and two for my kids. That hooked me...


This was my first actual grind (after many practice tries on mild steel). I ended up messing this one up some how and trashed it.


Letter opener for my wife

Last one for now. Son's 16th Birthday Bowie




I like using the Gemsbok fur as a base for photos, but the reflections it puts on stuff is a pain. The guard shows funny marks that aren't there in real life.

A few more I finished up recently. I should have another 4 or 5 done soon.

This is a set of 2 for the guides my son and I had during our Africa trip.

• NitroV Stainless Steel
• Stainless Steel Bolsters
• Dyed Maple Accents
• African Blackwood Handles
• Custom Mosaic Pins
• Custom Leather Sheath with Mokume Gane accent, etched with Eland Antelope

The second knife is the same but with Leopard Wood accents and an etched leopard on the sheath

You definitely have a recognizable style. Very nice body of work!

Chris, I do like that fillet knife pattern. Do you mind if I use it sometime in future?

 

[chrisstaniar]

Of course, I think I got it online here: http://dcknives.blogspot.com/p/knife-profiles.html

Thought I'd give dovetailed bolsters a try. Turned out nicely.
