Thread: Show me your knives

Recent examples of my work:

These two are knives where the client wanted antler handles, never having done that before I agreed but offered no guarantees, well I have to say that after doing it once, or twice in this case, I am unlikely to do it again, the material is so hard to work that I blew up my dremel and had to do some serious repairs to my 2X72 belt sander, as well as having to buy replacement belts, the outside material is soft but the inside stuff is not, this means that I could not get the bolts as smooth as I wanted to without removing too much of the knobby material (bark?) on the antler, while the inside stuff is almost impossible to sand flat, well they worked but not as nicely as I had hoped.
Forgot to take final photo, so this still has the blade masking taped up, but its a Loveless drop point shape in 3mm O1.



This one is going stateside, am waiting on a new dremel (actually its a 1/6 hp foredom) to do the last little touch ups on it, but its one of four blades I made in this shape from my latest batch, this one is kitted out with an itergrated ceramic sharpener, a fire steel and striker with whistle, and an adjustable tensioner, still to fit is the wrist thong with adjustable latch and a final polish, as such there are still marks on the handle that will be gone come shipping time, it 4 mm O1, this one has micarta and double G10 handles.
