Working on two new ones

[Bobby Urban]

Been a while since I have been to the shop and it felt good to get these two started.  One for a really good friend and one for the kitchen.
Start with a piece off a Ford
   
Then warm it in here
   
Smash it with a power hammer
   
And out comes these

Looking good!

Bobby I really like that top one. Very nice.

Thanks Ray and Skully.  I am really excited about the Kitchen Knife and hoping it turns out like I want.  I am trying to grind it thinner than any I have made and then go a little thinner still.  Here is where I am at so far.

I'm liking the bottom one.

Thanks SWP

Going out of town for a week but when I get back I am getting right on these two.  The drop point hunter is for a friend that just lost her dog.  The handle is a little big but my goal is to incorporate(inset) Farleys dog tag into the handle.  I am really hoping I can get that one to turn out nice for all the obvious reasons.  Stay tuned.

Any tips on a finish to go over the inlet tag?  Should I put epoxy over it?

thanks
