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 Set of Custom Nessmuk Knives and Leather work.

Posted Below is a set of my custom Nessmuk knives.

These are a hair bit different in style to my standard looking
Nessie.  These are more like the design  Nessmuk  I run
in the Ad for  Backwoodsman Magazine.

Both have black walnut handles with 5 pins. Hand stitched
and antiqued in Dark brown.

Also posted below is some custom leather work I have completed. A very nice
glass bottle and cork top flask/Canteen.  The entire piece has been wrapped with
a veg tan and tight cross stitched.  This piece has also been antiqued and oiled
to a dark brown color.  This piece also has a strap that is adjustable.

Thank you
