File work on Your Knife

Currently I offer "generally" three different styles of  "My style"
of File work.

This doesn't mean something cant be customized
and I have done some very involved file work before
extending through the entire length tang behind the
handle.

But for the most part the three types of file work shown
below is what I offer.

Yes.. if you aren't aware of it. All the file work
is done free hand.  I use no machinery, jigs or and other
fancy gadgets to do this.  All by hand.

My standard file work

My "Jimped" File worked Spine

and this is what I call "File worked Thumb Stops" 

Thank you very much

Cross Forged Large Game knife by ML Knives

I have made a number of Cross forged pattern Knives
starting back maybe in 2003 and this design I started
offering in a Sporting Classics Magazine Ad a few
years ago if I remember right.

Called the Cross forged Large Game knife.

This knife is an excellent design and has a blade about
4 1/2" long with a file worked spine with tiger maple handle.
The blade also has 4 brass pins and brass lined rear
lanyard hole.

Sheath is hand stitched as all my sheaths.

Also the final video for the Country Bag is posted.

Thank you

Deep Belly Spear point Knife

A look at some past work for you to see.  This one was
made awhile back.  You can see from the pictures this has a
very nice wide spear point type blade with hand file work
on the spine.

I believe this one had a beefed up 3/16" spine and
an antiqued white oak handle with 4 steel pins and
lanyard hole.  blade about 5".

This piece also has hand braided leather at the but end
going through the lanyard hole.

As all my sheaths, hand stitched and this one was done
in dark brown.

Went out earlier today and happened to have my camera with me
and saw this longear out by the garden!  Hopefully the beans
are in good shape.

Thank you
