Latest couple of projects just in time for Christmas. Shout out to Ross Nolan on the forum for pohutakawa handle scales really enjoyed working with it. First couple of pouches I have made too, unfortunately put the blades back in sheaths to soon and developed some minor rust spots, cleaned up pretty good though. Attachment 264130

The top is a Damascus knife we got from a seller a few years back and below it is a Smith and Wesson search and rescue knife.
I also got two pocket knives, the one on the right is a CRKT M16 stainless steel, and the other is a knife from hunting and fishing.
Cold Steel Rajah 2

The glistening is tiny bit of oil from frypan to protect it. The rust descale wheel on angle grinder brought it back and new stoning kit worked a treat at restoring abused edge
Yes, with water stones.Quote:

Something for cutting string, bale wrap, the occasional rabbit - or anything else that needs a bit of slicing.

You've got a talent Ross! I really like the clean lines and practical blade shapes.
Made by a farrier friend using worn out hoof rasps, razor sharp. Shit he's talented
Was going through dad’s knife draw in the kitchen tonight and dug this out of the back of the draw. It’s definitely carbon steel and I’m wondering if it’s an older Green River. Victorinox boner for scale
Any thoughts? Attachment 268303
That be great for cutting hunks into steaks...could be green river,or no name from butchers,works fifty years ago when wood n brass still allowed.bet it's dead easy to get n keep sharp.
Extremely good blacksmith‘s work! He is talented for sure!Quote:
