Trail Fighter #24

Recent completed work from my shop is this custom made
Trail Fighter #24.

This trail Fighter has been handled in Black canvas micarta
instead of my standard black dymonwood.

If you are unfamiliar with the Trail Fighter the blade ranges in at about
6 1/4" and comes with pattern and patina aging.

If you would like more info you can go to this
page on my website.
Special Order Page 3

I am also in the process of trying to get video done on one of my country bags so
you can see some of the process.  I will have more info posted when things are set
with that.

Thank you

Close Fighter Custom

Back I think it was in 2005 or so I designed the knife below.

I called this design "the close fighter"

Basically its a shorter version of a longer fighter style at about
a 4 1/2" blade with a tapered forward swedge clip.

There is a pic of one of my early customs in my past
work extended gallery

The close fighter below was done for a recent custom order
with antiqued hickory, steel pins and rear lanyard hole.

This knife has a beefed up 3/16" spine and will equally handle
hunting and skinning chores with no problem.

On a recent journey into the snow covered woods I took some nice pictures.
One I posted below.  I will post more images from the trip in future posts.

Thank you

Fighter Style knife with Horizontal Belt Sheath

Recent custom work below is a shorter style Fighter.

The design of this this blade would also be well suited for
many things such as hunting, and wilderness work.

Some info on this custom.

Blade is about 4 1/4" with pattern and patina aging, the
beefed up 3/16" spine has file worked thumb stops.

The blade also has a tapered forward swedge that is about
2" in length.

The handle is carved black horn with brass pins and lanyard
hole.  The tang is also exposed at the back end about .25
you have seen this on some of my other knives.  The handle
length on this is about 4 1/2"

The sheath is distressed, black, hand stitched and set to
wear horizontal.

A recent trip into the wilderness I found what I thought was a unique
looking tree.  Attached a video.



Thank you
