First one:
Steel: 1095, fully forged
Handle: Fully integral ironwood, with buffalo horn bolster and brass fittings
Blade length: 9"
Blade height at heel: 2.5"
Thickness at heel: 1/8"
This is a big guy ready to do some serious work. Balance is about 1" past the bolster. Ground to .007" before sharpening. Nicely contoured handle that works well as is or in a pinch grip. Hand sanded to 600 grit before finished with a scotchbrite pad. This knife was being sold at a shop where it developed a bit of rust on the ricasso. I had to go back and re-finish it as best I could, but there are a few small black dots in the ricasso.
Asking $220 shipped
Steel: 1095, fully forged
Handle: Integral ironwood sandwiching black and blue G10 liners
Blade length: Just shy of 8 3/4"
Blade height at heel: 2 3/16"
Thickness at heel: Just under 1/8"
This guy is my favorite knife to use that I've made. To me it just has the perfect balance of weight, agility, stoutness, paired with an wicked thin edge. 0.003" at the edge. 400 grit finish

Steel: 1095, fully forged
Blade length: 5 1/4"
Blade height at heel: 1 5/8"
Thickness at heel: 3/32"
The darker handle is walnut, with some really cool grain. I don't know the exact wood of the other, I got it from a friend who is a carpenter. It's very dense and oily, will hold up very well in the kitchen. Both finished at 400 grit
These guys are super aggressive cutters. They are somewhat thick at the spine and taper to a super thin tip. Ground to 0.003" behind the edge. These are light go-getters!
Walnut: $120
Mystery wood: $100
On the mystery wood knife, the scales aren't perfectly lined up. The right scale is about 1mm higher on the ricasso. Doesn't effect functionality whatsoever, just a reason why it's so much cheaper.
As always, feedback is greatly appreciated
