Cade's "Custom" from Jeremy

[Guru]

Jeremy being the great guy he is, presented Cade with this...
 

At Shawn's JLMBH, his first ever knife and a custom no less! Jeremy called it a certain type blade,but I don't remember what he called it. Said it was good for kids though. I couldn't agree more...it's perfect!  Thank you so much brother!!!!!!!      
 

Now Cade and I both have Jeremy knives...
 

[Chris Surtees]

Hope little man gets to put it to good use soon...congrats to both of you        

Well done Jeremy

Jeremy thats super cool..Curt those are sweet looking and what a great gift for a young man...bd

[Jeremy]

I'm glad Cade likes the knife Curt!  Let me know if you want a RH sheath.  I forgot that although he shoots like a southpaw he does most other stuff with his right.  It's really cool how it matches his new bow quiver though!

The blade is essentially a spey blade with the tip rounded rather than the normal little clip.  The rather blunt tip prevents little guys from doing too much damage if they poke themselves.  A good first knife that's still useful later on.

The blade was actually clay coated during the quench, just not etched or specially polished.  If you hold it at the right angle you can see the hamon.  I figure when he gets a little older I'll clean the knife up a bit and wipe some acid on it in front of him to show what was "hiding" in his knife the whole time  :D

Thats some beautiful work you do Jeremy. Wish I had more time to pick your brain and Dougs for that matter too. What type of steel do you typically use?  Skippy

[Lin Rhea]

Very nice knives. I bet he's tickled. Lin

[Steve Nuckels]

Oh, that is so cool!  Very Nice.

Curt, Cade is one lucky little dude.  Thats a saaweet first custome knife!!   Nice job Jeremy  

[Doug Campbell]

Yep Cade was keeping a pretty close eye on those knives, that boy knows good steel already    

Sorry you had to leave early, sure wish we'd got to talk a bit more Jeremy.

Well done Jeremy.

Skippy, both those knives are out of 1095.  An easier steel to start forging with is 1084 though if you're thinking of giving it a go.

I gave Curt his knife 3 years ago and I'm betting it looks quite a bit different by now  

Doug, it was a pleasure to meet you (finally)!  I won't be making it out West anytime soon, but we'll have to connect up again at some point.

Jeremy, Yes Karl put me on the track for 1084 but I have yet to pick any up. Do you have a source you wouldn't mind sharing?

That'll be cool bud....he can't keep his hands off of it. It's been on two adventures with us already    

As far as mine...yes' it looks a bit different from "use"....but it well taken care of    

[Jeremy]

Skippy, I don't have any special suppliers.  Jantz, TX knife, Admiral Steel, McMaster-Carr... all depends on what I'm going after and how much of it I want.

Curt, eventually you'll have to tell me what style knife you want and I'll need to get one in your hands that has my stamp on it.

Dang bud, That would be awesome!!!! Let's work something out    

[SKYLER W]

Beautiful!!!
