Pre-Blade Show commissioned blades

[Stormcrow]

The Blade Show approaches with frightening rapidity, as usual. I have two tables and at the moment nothing ready.

I did have this 5160 blade, but it sold within a few minutes of me posting it on Instagram. My wife wasn't too happy about that, but my pickup's transmission decided it needed rebuilt RIGHT NOW and I needed the money.

The rest of these were commissions that I finished up prior to the show. They're all 80CrV2 steel with Boltaron sheaths.

These two are about 7 1/2" blades.

A 5" blade with retina-searing neon orange over hemp, for a deer hunter who wanted a hi-viz knife handle.

And a blade a bit over 6".

And now, panic mode engage! Time to FORGE AHEAD!!!!

I like the wrapped handles. I bet it takes patience to be able to get those right.

Thanks! Stubbornness and persistence are the only way I manage to get anything done.
