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

A customized Short Survivalist

This weeks post I have a custom order short survivalist.

This survivalist has been special ordered with mammoth
ivory scales and mosaic pins.

The leather at the rear lanyard hole was hand braided.

Sheath is my multi carry high ride/neck carry set up
in dark brown that has been hand stitched.

File worked thumb stops have also been worked
into the spine of the knife.

Thank you all for everything.

Leather Handled Carry knife

The design of this knife is similar to the kephart with a spear point blade.

The one below is a prototype I am using and testing for now.  Here is
some info on the knife.  The blade is about 2 1/4" long  and
about 1" wide.  With a handle about 3 1/8" long and yes it is antiqued
hard leather.  About 8 to 10 ounce that is epoxied and pinned to the tang
and is very flat and seems comfortable to me. 
This also has been beeswax finished.  This would also work well
with an epoxy finish.

If you have been a follower of my work you know I have done
many leather wrapped handles, and I work with leather
but this is the first flat leather (Pinned to the tang Knife
I have done)

The spine on this one is 3/32 thick with filework after
the handle.

I will give more info and show more pics and maybe
a video to show closer pictures as time goes by.

Thank you

Carry Knife with Stag

This custom order knife is a great size for carrying everyday
as well as a game knife.   I am in the process of making a
neck sheath for it as well.

The blade size on this is about 2 5/8" with a file worked
jimped spine.  The handle is antiqued stag with brass
pins at about 3 3/8" long.

The blade is also pattern and patina aged and has enough
belly for skinning as well.

The belt sheath is hand stitched and antiqued in a medium
brown color.

I also posted a new video you might enjoy.

Thank you for reading.
