Title: Three new ones
Post by: Track on November 05, 2013, 08:52:00 PM
Here's three I just finished. All are Elmax stainless. Top knife has 4" blade, desert ironwood handle. Middle knife has a 5" blade with snakewood handle and stainless bolster. Bottom knife has 3 3/4" blade, ironwood handle and brass bolster.  (http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z390/RBernier/002-2.jpg) (http://s1187.photobucket.com/user/RBernier/media/002-2.jpg.html)

Thanks, Dana. I appreciate your good words. The filework on the second knife is my favorite too.

I like the second best of all. But there is something about all that I like. Beautiful work.

Thanks, Lin. I really appreciate yours and Dana's words. I try to do something a little different every time, but come back to more standard knives that I feel are best designed for hunters. I have a couple of bowies I'm just about finished with that I'll post soon.
