Trio of "Rough Necks"

[4est trekker]

Howdy, folks.  Here's a trio of "rough necks."  These little caping neck knifes are finished raw...belt finish, some forge marks, cord handles, etc.  They average 6" in oal, with roughly 2" blades.  Two are saltwater etched; the third has a "kitchen patina" earned from some use in the kitchen cutting lemons, apples, onions, and some other goodies     These are thin little blades designed after my love for Swiss Army knives...those thin, slick little blades that seem to fit and slide in where many knives won't (i.e. when caping) but with a good deal more meat...plus they won't close up on you!  They're just a frog's hair under 3/32" thick and are differentially heat treated.  Thanks for looking.  As always, critique welcomed!

Oh yea!  I like every detail of those.  The handle treatments are great, the patina and I espically like the file work on the spine.

Your sheaths are the coolest!

little knives do more work than great BIG knives...My Swiss army gets used 50 times a day.
Worked on a few deer too...always good for my can of beans....these guys are real work tools.
