Back to it and making some knives!

[Gamez235]

Been traveling a lot to start 2016, but I've been able to get in the shop some here and there. The building of the new shop is at a stand still right now, but I should resume work on it later this week. Roof the forge area and run power are really all that is left.
G10 getting shaped on these two.

Dark earth G10 and the grey etch looks pretty good together.

The current run of knives, ready for sheaths.

Boltaron fun! I can usually keep the holes lined up, but every now and again one just does it's own thing.

All the holes are drilled and the rough shape is cut. Time to sand them down a bit.

Shaping them goes pretty quick, cleaning up all the dust and mess from it takes longer.

Need to rivet them together yet, but they are coming along.

The next 3 to get made. A B.T.K. in O1 for an order, then a Slicer in O1 and L.U.K. in D2.

The dude abides.

These sheaths are done. The S.P.K. is rocking a tuck-able I.W.B. strut from Henry Holsters.

Neighbor gave me a handful of US Issue Mess Knives. These date from WW2 to the Korean War. Very cool score.

The Shop Knife Design in 1084/15N20. This design came from a failed No Name Knife, that I kept grinding down and messing with. Once I got it down to a shape I liked, I found myself using it quite a bit in the shop, so I made a pattern and made this one.

You ever make any canister Damascus steel?

 

[Gabriel]

I really like that last one.

Nice work! I'd like to add a damascus blade to my collection.

I have not. Once the new shop it done, I will have more room to experiment, plus i've got a year of classes and workshops as well to help me along.

I really like that last one.

Custom ordrer, that the buyer flaked out on. Finish gave me some problems, think it's time for a blasting cabinet.

Books are open and some knives are available.

Loving the SBK, going to run anymore soon?

One reason I won't really do custom orders... plus I just don't have time. I barely have time to get into the shop at all as it is. That knife is cool, though, and different than your other models. It will sell fast anyway.

Blast cabinets are great. That and the cheap Harbor Freight 20 ton press are two things I didn't think I would use a whole lot, but I use the cabinet all the time and the press for everything (I don't know how I got along without it).

That's amazing.

My psychic abilities tell me that you are correct!

Of course, everything he makes sells quickly.

I like the dark earth and gray, but that royal blue is striking. Think I like the shape on the 79 SKD out of the ones you posted. Took a look at your website (and bookmarked it), nice work and knives, look forward to seeing future work after you get the new shop setup.

Where is my doggone cinnamon roll? Tease!!

Yeah, that color really looks good when finished up, even if you aren't a fan of blue. With the damascus, it really is a stunning little knife. My three year old really likes it and keeps making me scroll back up to it.

 

[tmater]

These ate good looking knives and I would be proud to own one. What is the price ranges?

 

[tocws2002]

Yes, the damascus is awesome, I liked the blue so much I forgot to comment on the blades. Really dig the damascus with those handles.

I wasn't sure when I laid it out, but i like how it turned out.

Really nice looking work, nice to see clean lines without a lot of fluff and nonsense.
