You did a fantastic job on that build!

 

[Sean Jones]

I agree with opaul. Great job!

It has been a while since I posted a finished knife.? In my defense, it was a cold winter here in Nebraska. I do not have a heated shop. I got a corner in the garage. But, I make due.

Here is a fillet knife that I have been working on all winter. 440c, 11 inches oal, 6.5 inch blade. Blue g10, brass, whitetail horn handle. Brass guard. Scary sharp. Watch out fishes! Headed to the Bering Sea.

Pictures are better than words.

Like I said, I have been a bit busy.

One of my favorite patterns. I call it small hunter. I have made a lot of this pattern.

1075 high carbon steel. 8.5 inches oal, 4.5 inch handle, 4 inch blade. Orange g10 bolster, orange and black g10 with brass spacer, orange/black/white (trio) g10 handle, brass pins. Buffalo stamped sheath with braiding.

Another knife completed. Again, small hunter. This one sports a brass bolster, black g10 spacer, boxelder burl end cut scales and brass pins. Bear stamped sheath with braiding.

A couple years ago, Larry Franklin, was my Secret Santa in the KD Christmas giveaway. He gifted me the boxelder burl end cut scales. Thank you Larry. I think they turned out terrific.

Another small hunter. Same dimensions and steel. This one sports desert ironwood bolsters, brass and red g10 spacers, elm scales finished with aqua fortis reagent, brass pins. Wolf stamped sheath with braiding.

No. 5 for today. Again a small hunter. Same dimensions and steel. Stainless 416 bolsters, yellow/red/orange g10 spacers, white paper micarta scales, stainless pins. Whitetail deer stamped sheath with braiding.

I cannot remember ever having four (knives) completed at the same time. All the same pattern - just finished with different handles.

Looking great Dennis. Hopefully you will have some milder weather coming your way.

It is here. Snow has melted. Been in the 30-40 degree range. Sunshine here and there.

It was 88 degrees here yesterday!! I guess you are in a heat wave with that balmy temperatures.

Awesome work Dennis! And your leatherwork is inspiring me again, as always. On the sheath for the filet knife, is there something inside to protect the line of stitching?

Ouch. 88 huh? Dang. All I got.

Yes, The welt is extended passed the stitches.

Just finished my first Damascus knife. Triple H (Randy Haas) Damascus - twist pattern. Stainless guard, throat, pin. Vintage stag handle. Probably 25 or more years old. 4.5 inch blade. 5 inch handle. Saddle tan sheath, duck stamp, black braiding.

Happy Easter Knife Dogs!

Nice work Dennis. It's beautiful.

 

[opaul]

A beauty.

 

[soundmind]

That's a great looking knife!

A clip point hunter that I call Jackson. 1075 high carbon steel. Orange and Trio G10 bolsters/scales. Brass pins. Saddle tan sheath with black rollover and black stitching. My very first Sam Browne stud. I do not make very many unstamped sheaths. Just had that feeling today.

Memorial Day knife. Ebony and ivory. Some stainless steel. HHH Damascus - twist. Double stitched sheath. Just a bit longer than 9.5 inches OAL.

The ivory is a hippo tooth. I intentionally left the enamel in the top strap. On the very end is a cavity.
