I especially like the oak one. The layered liners look good with the Bocote.
 
Thanks John!

Thanks, but none are oak. I think you're referring to the Teak on with the steel hardware??

That's my favorite too. I really like the curve of the handle.

They all look great. Looks like you had a lot of fun with wood lamination and liners :)
 
All those knives have very nice lines :thumbup: Looks like your getting a groove going, nice work ;)
 
WOW! those are beauties!
I love the lines of the blades and the different handle materials.

Very nice Andy !! :thumbup: :thumbup: The only thing I see wrong is the problem a guy would have trying to decide which one to buy. What is the reddish burl with the blk. liner ? It's Awesome ! Steel type ?
 
as said already....the liners really make these stand out. very nice....
 
Thanks for all the great comments guys!

Thats my kinda problem. LOL. I'll work on that. THat reddish burl is stabalized dyed Maple burl. This is one of my last batch of 01. Next ones will be 1095. Dadburned 01 being so expensive. Why is it all precision ground. Like I give 2 squats about that...;)


Teak? That's even better!

I love working Teak. I used to do refinishing work on sailboats back in Fla., and the scent of it when you're sanding it really takes me back. This came from sailboat floorboard scraps that I get from my father in law's old carpenter. Its totaly stable, and very water resistant too. Teak good.

I like the wood part.

When there are scraps I usually glue up a block for later...

LOL. Actually the holidays slow me down a LOT. This is what I've done since beginning of November.

Thanks bro. The bow shoots really good. I hope you like the knife as much!
 
Wow, those are awesome. I am sure I am months away from my nessie, so I will keep drooling over any pictures you post.

My next batch of knives will be 10 nessmuks and should clear the books on nessmuk orders. I've gotten re-employed, so I'm stopping taking orders. After I clear them out I'm going to try to make a bunch up for Blade Show, God willing.
 
Congrats on the new job! Good thing I just got under the wire on the final order! And based on those pix, good thing I decided to go with your walnut not mine. Seems like each new batch you do has orders of magnitude more awesomeness than the last batch.
