A Set of custom knives for a Woodsman

This week I am posting a set of custom knives.

The top knife has a blade just about 4 inches long
and has a nice drop point blade.

The bottom knife is a smaller knife set up for
wearing as a neck knife with a blade about
2 1/2" long.

Both of these knives have a lighter patina aged
finish and file worked spines.

They also both have some really nice aged
old rough cut maple handles.

Both of the sheaths were hand stitched
and antiqued.

If you haven't had a chance to check out 

Edge and Care its available on Amazon as an

E-Book and has been in the top 100 in metal work.

Thank you

A set of custom Belt Knives with forged guards

This weeks post is a set of custom belt knives.  Both of these knives
were custom ordered and have beautiful tiger maple handles
with steel pins.

The guards were forged from steel and hand fit to the beefed up
3/16" tang.

The blades are about 8 inches in length, with pattern aging.

The sheaths were both antiqued and hand stitched with a
loop for the belt.

Thank  you

A set of Vintage Style knives

This is a custom set of knives for a custom order.

These knives were made with aged black walnut handles and
both have large brass pins.  The smaller of the two knives
has a 5 inch blade and the larger almost bowie shaped
knife has a blade about 9 1/2" long.

Both handles also have a beautiful ball end grip.

All my sheaths are hand stitched but are not in the photo
below.

I did upload a video of the smaller knife that I will post
below the photo.  Time was a factor in not having both
on this video.

thank you

Set of custom Knives Hudson bay, Kephart and a Nessmuk

Below is a custom order set of knives.

All three were handled with some really nice
Cocobolo.

The Hudson bay is my H2 style, with large brass pins
and a clean finish blade.

The  kephart has an extended handle and clean
finish blade.  Last is the Nessmuk with a pattern aged finish.
A lanyard hole was set on the back end of the kephart.

All three were set up with hand stitched dark brown sheaths
and the kephart sheath has one large loop that goes all the
way around, this style could be worn on either side
of the belt horizontally.

Thank you

Kephart custom knife Set and a custom Dangler

I have a Mid week look at a set of custom kephart knives
for you.  Both were done with Tiger maple, brass pins
and lanyard holes.  Lots of forge pattern left on the blades
as requested.

custom sheaths were left off this photo but if you scroll down a bit
I added a picture of a custom dangler sheath I made recently
for an Osage kephart custom with a ferro loop.
The second sheath is my fold over style sheath.
