Here are a few knives I've been working on lately. The first is walnut and cocobolo with brass accents and thong hole.


The next is a dandy. Ebony handle with bighorn sheep with red phenolic accents. I left the outermost part of the horn exposed on top of the handle. I also tried a few different things. I added two rivets(brass welding rods) because I like the way they look and I filed some of that cool mosaic stuff into the top of the blade. (thanks to some of the guys here for that trick)



Hope ya like 'em, Mike

Nice job on those mike! I really like the second one!!

Nicely done Mike!

mighty purty blades Mike.  you done out done yourself on that second one.    

way cool beautiful

fine job on both  

Very Nice.

See.... now there's someone who should be doing a build a long for a Helle Knife blade.

Knows how to take nice pics too!

Awesome work        
I like the first one the best.

You might consider sending these pics to Wingnut.

Very nice grips !

Is Helle blades top quality ?

Here in Norway we are told that steel should be made in Sweden, Germany or Japan.

Keep up the good work.

Bodork,
#2 is AMAZING!  just fantastic, that would make the prettiest bushcraft knife I have seen!  #1 is a close second, if that makes any sense...
Mike

beautifull work :0)

Thanks gang. I'm pleased that you like to look at them but proud that you like them enough to comment because I know most of you are excellent craftsmen.  Looking at the top of the blade of that second one just gave me an idea to try on the next. I have another one almost finished. Having a special touch put on it right now. I'll show it in a few days. Thanks again, mike

Outstanding!
