Here is my latest project. It is made from an old file and I left the serations on one side for sawing. I still have to do final finishing. Hope you guy's like it.

Jimmy, all of it very nice and very good work. Keep them coming:-)

I LIKE IT!
Serration's on top is a great idea.
Very nice spacers and handle material combo!!!

Looking good.

Nice Jimmy. Is that canvas?
Capt. Chris

Thanks everybody. It is brown canvas micarta that I bought of ebay Capt. It has more of a gold color to it than brown though. I'll try and take better pictures of it when done. I like this material a lot and have a few more blocks of it. I am going to use one on a large damascus camp knife for somebody.

Jimmy
That is a great looking knife, and I really like your choice in handle material. You are a very talented guy

Peter

The blade looks great,the spacers and handle material work great together

Really nice workmanship. Time to join the Guild.

Pap

Outstanding work, Jimmy. It's got to feel great to look back at your work/art when completed and seeing nothing but better & better all the time. Keep on rolling!

A super knife, Jimmy - outstanding!
I think the idea of the serrations on the spine is really cool
And the handle material looks very nice. I like it a lot!

Thanks a lot guy's.
Pappy, I am a member of the ABS. I joined a couple years ago. I hope to take my performance test and my knives judged in 2014 for my JS stamp.

Here are some of my knives on the work bench. I wil be putting some up for sale in a couple weeks.

Looks like you are working hard.

Had to make one of those high speed concealment sheaths for my APFK-7".

IT look's great and well made.

That's excellent work, Jimmy.

Thanks a lot Walter and Pat.

Lets see that rig with your knife in it on you. Looks like it will stand up to some use.

That's a great looking sheath Jimmy.

Thanks Steve and Steven. Here are some pics of my latest project. Hope to finish it tomorrow.

Jimmy,
Very ergonomic looking handle. Must feel great in the hand.
Tony

I do like your slab side handles.

Finished up. Here is a camp knife made of 5160 steel that has been forged and ground to its final shape. The blade is 6 3/4" and 11.5" overall. The brass furniture goes good with the black and brown micarta spacer. The handle is a black & gray parkawood shaped in a BPH design with brass pin and wrist thong. Hope you guy's like it.

Well done,Jimmy

Exactly! Very well done. Great to see your improvements. I don't think you have to worry about improving...just makin' more for us to stare at!
Thanks, Capt. Chris

Killer knife Jimmy! Great work... did you set up a workshop at the house?

Helluva Camp Knife Jimmy!!!!

Big and bold looks like a knife I would like in my camp. Another nice job.

Thanks a lot guy's.
Jay, my shop is in my two car garage and the old lady is on my butt 24-7.

Jimmy,
You improved your skills so much, both in steel and leather.
Your last two knives are very balanced...style wise...and with a very good look.
Together with its sheath...a perfect combination.
Now you have to work on your brand stamp to achieve 100++ in my very personal list of
appreciation.
Good work anyway.
Bravo!
Best
Guido

Thanks Guido, your right about the stamp. You only get one shot at it. Now that I have a smaller stamp things should improve. I will use the larger stamp on my sheaths.

That's cool Jimmy - my two car garage suddenly seems underutilized... It looks like a great hobby!

Enjoy the weekend ,

Jay

Nice looking knife!

Got some time to start a couple new projects. The first is a 11.5" fighting style knife. It will have a brown BPH with brass rivets. I am not sure how practical it is, but dam it's going to be cool. The second is going to be a damascus camp knife with an 8" blade. Have not decided on the handle yet. Probably will be brown micarta with brass and black spacers.

Can't wait to see the finished products. Your knives look great.

Same here.

Pap

Everything goes wrong! For some reason when I quenched this blade it put a small wave on the edge. You can see in one of the photos were I hammered it almost straight. Becuase I screwed up the blade I decided to try some new things. This was my first attempt at a SFG handle and I profiled down to far exposing the tang. I also peened the brass pin a little to much resulting in a hair line crack in the pakka wood. I have decided to keep this one and make it a test knife. I will test its performance and reliability this upcoming camping season.

Sometimes we learn more from our mistakes than our successes.
Still ... a very cool looking knife Jimmy!
Tony

Here are some pics of the other knife. This is one cool piece! It has great balance believe or not.

How about a small damascus & stag #1? Overall length is 5" with damascus blade/double hilt and a crown spike antler. Hope you guy's like it.

Great job Jimmy..... I like the model 14 style hilt. I have ordered several from the shop lately.

What's not to like!
Great stag.

What Tony said. Super nice build.

Pap

Jimmy
Another impressive knife, what is the hilt made of, I can't tell from the photo
Thanks
Peter

Great knife Jimmy.

Thanks everybody, I enjoy making these small knives for some reason.
Peter the hilt is from the same damascus as the blade.
I have been busy the last couple days and here are some small skinners in progress. They are made from old files. The 3 skinners are for a local gun store my buddy opened up in Keystone, Fl. He wanted some knives in the $100.00 to 125.00 dollar price range.

Glad to see you are forging different style blabes

Great knives Jimmy! That's a nice piece of crown stag, I'm sure it'll find a home for Christmas.

Have a good Thursday guys,

Jay

Looking good. Nice healthy stag on that no. 1.

Really nice stuff Jimmy...BRAVO !

Best of Show!!

Beautiful work Jimmy. I like all of them

Jimmy and Kimmo both make nikce looking knives. There is talent among us!

Thanks again everybody! Here is a Damascus Fighter with a 6" blade that I finished up today. It is the first nickel silver double hilt that I've done. The handle is lignum vitae with a brass pin. The spacers are black, green and a thick aluminum one in the center. It turned out awesome. I plan on going to see the Captain this Saturday at the Orlando show. I am going to have it with me if anybody is interested in seeing it. Again everybody, thanks for your comments.

Jimmy,
Can't wait to see it..amd you. I think I have a knife for you???
HHMMM. Let me see...Capt. Chris

Jimmy, I'd like to grab a look as well. Plan on going early Sat!!

Your leatherwork looks to be topnotch also. Great work.

Keep up the good work Jimmy. The sheath's are really nice.

That fighter is sweet!!

Great looking fighter Jimmy...... Man, your grind lines are really sharp, and you knialed the hilt!! Looking good!!!!!

Damn, that's a classy looking fighter!!
Tony

Beautiful work . I like it a lot. The lignum is also something easy to like.

I like everything about that knife.

Thanks guys!

Jimmy I am super impressed with your knives. Can't wait to see more. Really just outstanding work.
Keep em coming.
Ronnie

I appreciate the kind words Ronnie. I'll keep them coming.

Computers been down for a while, but I'am back. Here are some pictures of a couple of knives I'am working on. I got with the Captain about donating a knife for auction to help generate some funds to support the troops. The little unfinished knife will be it. I'll keep pictures coming with it's progress.

Good talkin' to you this week Jimmy. That lil' one looks to be a great carry knife!
Thanks, Capt. Chris

Some progress.

Cool! Very nice of you to donate this knife. Can't wait to watch its progress.

One of you guys are going to be very happy. This thing turned out bad a$$. Overall length is 7" and the blade is 4.75". Black micarta scales with SF green liners. The steel is from an old file. When the guys at work see this the orders are going to go through the roof. I'am thinking some kind of clip on concealment sheath. This is the second knife I have put my Master Blaster stamp on. Shipping it off to Captain once it's done. Hope you guys like it and it should generate some good cash flow for the club.

Some more pic's.

Looks great!

I like that one, awesome work!!

EXCELLENT!

You can consider mine your first order, Jimmy! Even before we spoke yesterday I knew this knife was gonna' be the bomb ticket! Hopefully, these good folks on this forum (especially the RKCC members) will fill up a 200 number raffle...more to come.
Great work and I can't thank you enough for what you do for the RKCC and RKCA. Everyone else has no idea just "how" much. Let me just give the rest of you folks a hint: I have "3" more of Mr. Bedgood's "items" for auction and door prizes at the Blade show annual meeting. Too generous, that's for sure. The rest of you good folks might remember that when you order a knife. I'm sure Jimmy will treat ya' right!
Stay sharp, Capt. Chris
PS: Jimmy: NASA handle material (yes...It'll be scraps) will be awaiting you at the Orlando show for a knife for me...and for you, of course...CCS

Awesome work Jimmy! Also thank you for your efforts on all of our behalfs!! Add me to the order list please!

Thanks a lot everybody. First attempt on sheath, not good enough. F-upped the stitching big time.

Jimmy....I wanna one like this...I do love the para-trooper stamp on it..
PM to me!...please..

Awesome AGAIN, Jimmy. Sheath may not be perfect but it sure looks sweet enough to carry that great blade in every day!

Duke,
I don't believe the sheath pictured was the first attempt. This one looks perfect to me. Jimmy should read these posts and let us know but I'm ready to receive this package!
Nice, Capt. Chris

Thanks Duke. This sheath stuff is not easy. This one looks good, butt has some tooling marks from my stitcher. Overall it looks pretty good. I'll destroy the first one for the clip and try again.

Very nice, I really like it. A winner!!

Pap

Outstanding!

Thanks Pappy and Tony.

I have 13 people wanting one of these now. I guess it's time to get busy. I will try and get 5 done for the blade show.

Hi Jimmy, dont forget the para-troop mark..!
have a buzy day
Best
Guido

I won't Guido. I have your specs and have not forgotten that Paratrooper picture. Old School!

Sounds good!!!/Looks Better!!

How about a this fighter with a 7.5" O-1 tool steel blade, brass double hilt, SF green micarta spacer, old brown micarta handle and brass wrist thong. Hope to finish it up tomorrow afternoon.

All finished and ready for the show.

That's so NICE !!!

Very nice spacers and handle material combo!!! ... AGAIN!
Terrific knife.

Great looking knife Jimmy.

Thanks guys, it turned out great. Razor sharp!

Man that is really nice.

You have done well sir!!!

Jimmy
Very nice job on this knife. I am really impressed by your work

Peter

WOW!!!

Super nice Jimmy, it, along with your skills, will be a hit at the "show".

Pap

Great job!!

And I love the sheath!!

Looks great !!!

Thanks everybody for your comments.

Excellent work Jimmy! And, I dig the Master Blaster stamp!
- Rob

Jimmy you are still puttin out some fine stuff! You sir have talent!

Thanks Rob and Ronnie.

Here is my latest. 4.5",0-1 tool steel blade with mini brass double hilt. Brown micarta with green and black spacers. The handle is silver and black laminated wood with brass pin and wrist thong. Needs to be sharpened along with final sanding/polishing and set the snap on the sheath. Hopefully will finish up this week.

Jimmy
That is a great looking design. Is the top sharpened as well? I like the over all look of the knife.

Each of your last two knives look great Jimmy. Seriously good looking and serious looking knives!

Excellent!!

Beautiful knife Jimmy.I like all of it.

OUTSTANDING!

Thanks evrybody.

Steven the top is ground to an edge and could be sharpened. The guy I made it for does not want it honed sharp.

Here are a couple I am trying to get done for the Blade Show.

Some more pictures.

Looks like a lignum vitae crown stag vise/holder combo??
Lookin' good, Capt. Chris

That's correct Capt. Lignum vitae is my favorite wood, its harder than woodpecker lips.

Finishing up the fighter that I started before the blade show. It has a lignum vitae handle with green and brown canvas micarta spacers. the hilt is nickel silver and a brass pin. (OOPS)! I guess it needs to be thrown out. To deep into the JD causes problems like this. Hope you guys like it anyway.

Looks great!

- Rob

You can send it to me, I'll dispose of it properly for you...

Been out of the loop for a while and trying to get caught up. Just finished making me a camp knife for the upcoming season. The blade is 10.5" X 2" X .250". Black canvas micarta scales with yellow liners and brass drilled double hilt. I sand blasted and parkerized the entire knife. This thing is a beast.

That should handle the light work for you. Big and bad looks like it should handle camp life very well.

So, your next one will be an actual sword???

COOL!!!!

Awesome! We been missing you!

Thanks a lot everybody. Hope to start making some more knives and finishing a few. There will be more to come for sure.

That sounds great. Can't wait to see what you come up with this time.

Very nice work, Jimmy.

This one is almost ready for it's new owner. I am not sure why I like making these larger knives, butt they sure are worth the trouble. It's going to be hard to turn this one loose.

Another nice one Jimmy! Are you doing all your sheaths as well??

Very nice, how long is the blade?

Everything on this one looks great, Jimmy......really sharp!!

Steve - I do make all of my sheaths at this time.

Rob - The blade lenght is 7.75" from tip to hilt.

They look great! Still loving my Whiskey Pete w/Brown Linen Micarta!

Now that's a knife!

Been busy trying to turn some jobs. Talked with a member of the club at Blade about making a "Okie" knife. Here is my attempt so far. Overall lenght of the knife is 13.25" with a 8" blade. Brass finger grip hilt with brown canvas micarta handle. Spacers are brown micarta, black fiber and aluminum. Butt cap is aluminum with thong hole and stainless nut. This thing is awesome! I plan to hold on to it and bring it to the Blade show this year. Hope you guy's like it.

More pics.

Last one.

Damn! That is cool!
Never saw anything like that. I really like the clean shape of the blade.
Great spacer configuration too!
Tony

Here is an iPhone pic of the original Okie from Hunt's book.

Great looking knife Jimmy!! Excellent tribute…..

Bad A--!!

I love that Okie, the original and yours Jimmy.

I was going to suggest a little curve on the other hilt, then I saw that the original had it already. I would do the next one that way if I were you.

Jimmy you are doing some fine work!

I got a Whiskey Pete coming and I'm as happy as a puppy with 2 peters.
Can't wait!

Wowww..... Bought spit my coffee!!!!

They are pretty nice, I believe I got one of the early ones just behind the Captain!

Both my #1 daughter and I have been mighty pleased with owning/using one of those early model Whiskey Pete's. It pretty much lives on my Levi's on the weekend. Same for her except more often, 'cause she doesn't miss many days spending some time with all the work that involves horses. If I can make it work I'll post a pic. of the smile following her "Whiskey Pete birthday present" in June. Thanks again Jimmy; keep hammering them out!

Duke you givin me chills man! I love these knives! Your two are beautiful!
