First 2 for 2013

[Pete Crowl]

I thought I'd post the first 2 knives I finished this year. They both get a leather pouch sheath, hope to start them today or tomorrow.

The blades are forged 1084 carbon steel 4 and 1/2 inches long. The guards are 416 stainless. The spacers and pins are copper.

The top knife has a stabilized curly koa handle. The bottom knife has some stabilized spalted maple.

I love your handles. I particularly love the copper. I can't get enough copper on knives.

Nice! I like the look of that spalted maple.

Not sure of the handles, but they both still look like great knives.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

PointFiveO, I like copper on knives as well.
