Cold Weather weekend work. Finished these two up, just need sheaths and a final edge. Hollow ground S90V, one clip point one sheepsfoot, with tapered tangs, of course.

Sheepsfoot has nicely figured curly walnut scales, tuxedo liners and copper corby/lanyard tube and two stainless small pins.
The clip point has some amazing, stabilized crotch walnut with tuxedo liners, stainless corbys and a brass and stainless mosaic lanyard tube.

These will be available.

Stunning work Navman.

Had coffee with ex-Navy on Saturday out of the Sub Base in Point Loma (San Diego)
I'm ex-Fort Polk
 
Rah! Loved Point Loma...great spot in San Diego.. Was stationed at one point in Coronado and North Island. Is Brown Bag Deli still open out that way? Ironically, I now work for Dept. Of the Army at Bragg.

Ironically I worked at the old Navy Hospital in '73 for a while until they staffed up with Nav Corpsmen. There were Army barracks at the sub base. Small world my friend. Don't know about Brown Bag. I travel past Seal Training to Imperial Beach to visit my ex-Army buddy on occasion.
I'm between Pendelton and Mira Mar. Big arse Helo's everyday fly over, I go out and salute.

Those look real nice! How comfortable is the little pinky choil at the back of the hilt?

Jak, designed to be comfortable in the hand. The pronghorn resulted from me using modeling clay and gripping a bar, then adapting it to one of my existing handles to increase ergo's. It was actually adapted from the handle of the clip point on the right. Both are comfortable to use, the pinky cut drops the point a tad to put it more in line with the hand.

Cool! It does look very ergonomic.
