I'm pretty new here and just wanted to share some of my recent knives. My wife is a photographer and I finally convinced her to get into knife photography. I'm sure you'll be able to tell where she took over lol. Thanks for looking!

Your wife does great work Josh but really the stars of the shots are YOUR KNIVES! Gorgeous knives and amazing work on those handles/scales, not sure which to call them on fixed blades. Anyway Top notch all the way around!

Wonderful variety! Very clean craftsmanship....love the hunters. Are you doing your own resin fill on the wood handles? It's beautiful.

Oh..and...the one pic made me laugh....clean knife dirty hands...as it should be...lol.

Thank you! I don't do the resin myself. I buy scales or blocks. It's fun to mix things up every now and then.
Ya I end up with a lot of pictures with dirty hands and clean knives lol. Glad my wife is taking over picture duties!

If nobody is opposed I thought it would be cool to keep this going and just post some as I finish them.
Here's a hunter I just finished up.

Nice I like that a lot. Can you fill us in on what materials were used? Please keep posting your knives. I don't think anyone will mind.

You bet I don't know why I didn't do that! This one is 0.130" AEB-L, stabilized box elder burl, blue g10 liners, and brass corby bolts.

Finished this one up a couple days ago and my wife finished up pictures today. I make a few of these and I really like the ergonomics of this design. 0.130" AEB-L, stabilized York gum burl, and brass corbies.
