Chuck Gedraitis Knives

Over the course of my knifemaking career I have made all sorts of knives and most of them all different. I have just reached another milestone, my first lockback. The blade is 2-7/8in long made of Al May ladder pattern damascus. The bolsters are bronze that I heated to give some patina, they will develop more naturally. The scales are mammoth ivory. I heat colored and fileworked the screws and anodized the liners blue. Overall length is 6-5/8in. I am very happy with my first lock-back. The knife has great lockup and a great click when opened. This was a learning experience and I plan to make more.
So now I have made:
Lock-backs
Balisongs
Slip-joints- single and multi-blade
Fixed blades
Liner locks
Frame locks
And automatics of various mechanisms.
Thanks for looking,
Chuck
