A Set of Custom Knives

Posted below is a set of custom knives recently completed in my shop.

The Top knife is a large kitchen/chefs style knife with a full
handle and large 8 inch blade.

Second knife was made as a carver but a blade of this shape and
style has been around forever and could easily be used for many
tasks besides kitchen and meat slicing.

Third knife down is my last chance carry with a patina aged blade
and double pinned lanyard holes.

Last knife is a deep belly drop point design I make with a blade
about 3 plus inches.

All the knives were handled in a very hard and dense Australian eucalyptus
wood.

Thank you

Large Frontier Knife..

The Frontier style knife below was a custom order knife with a blade
about 8 inches long.  The knife will be used to butcher large game
and I am sure for many more tasks as well.

The blade also has plenty of forge pattern and patina with a hand
file worked spine.

The guard was forged and hand fitted right after the antiqued bone
handle.  The pins are of steel.

All my sheaths are hand stitched just as this one and was antiqued
to fit the piece.

When Possible I like to share some of the photos I take in back country and trails I
hike.  Below are a couple pics I took you might like.

Thank you

Large Bladed Butcher/Scalper Knife Custom

It would have been nice to see this on video, but I didn't
have the time before I boxed it up for a custom order.

The sweeping  10 1/4" curve on this blade was excellent,
felt great in hand and would serve not only for a great
butcher knife and more.  You can see from the picture
the blade was patina aged as well.

The handle is tiger maple with a ball end grip 3 brass
pins.

Sheath was hand stitched and set up to be worn high
for a left hand cross draw.

I had some time to do a little fishing and thought you would like to see

a couple pictures.  Small mouth bass, at a smaller size but they put

up a decent fight.

Thank you

Happy Fathers Day.

Walnut handle, steel pins over brass washers.  The sheath is darker
brown and hand stitched set up to wear left hand carry.
Spine is 3/16" tang.

You can see this knife as well on my
special order page 3 of my website.

Thank you
