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

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 ,

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.

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!

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