Anybody into knives?

[Midnight Raver]

Y'all have been making some damn good blades! Making me jealous that I can't ...

Keep 'em coming, love to see more!

Been busy, done a lot, SOLD a lot, lots more in the works. Here's some pics....

First up is a filet knife, done in Cocobolo, with black liners and stainless pins....





Next is a skinner, this is Desert Ironwood from Arizona, super super awesome wood....






Next is a skinner, hammer forged blade, genuine Olive Wood scales from Bethlehem. Really rare and hard to obtain wood, with paracord lanyard.





Orange/Black G10 oyster knife.





Next are some revolver grips that were brought to me by a friend. He was restoring an old top-break revolver for his father in law, and he broke one of the already rusted and bad looking grips in half. So I epoxied it back together, removed most of the rust, and polished them back up. The grips are made of a resin, so the rust was actually IN the material. Couldn't get it all out.

This is how they came to me:




And after:

I've been making knives for about 6 months. Link to the webpage is in the sig, but here are some pics. I post a lot of "along the way" photos and give some sneak peaks.

Those are really cool!

I just don't think I want to invest in a grinder capable of doing bevels. I don't think I have the patience.....

I make them on a harbor freight 1x30. Cost me 40.00. Dive in man it will come to you after a few.

This is No. 22 that I finished tonight.

and started on No. 23.

I have a harbor freight 1 x 30......

Got any good links to show how to get started? Like starting from a blank?

 

[Gamez235]

Tell you what, I'll host a grind in when I get settled and show you.

 

[PapaBear]

[Gamez235]

Nice tactical beverage entry tool. Many a beverage will be breached.

 

[PapaBear]

Yeah those are really cool....I see the dyechem on there, what are you using to bore the hole and cut out the shape?

What kind of price on em when they're done are you thinking?
