Here are some long outstanding orders. Sorry guys for the delay. The first is san mai with camel bone, and the second is a hidden tang (that's right, I made a hidden tang) dagger (that's right, I made a dagger)

It was a part of a creativity project. I got an order with the directive to "make what you want, just use that san mai, and be creative." That is the kind of order I love.

I hope he likes it.

The other is a mini neo (although the blade is still nearly 5" long) and it has stabilized camel bone scales. It took me a while to find the right scales for it. I thought I had some when I took the order, but I was mistaken.

So here they are, what do you think?

Those are jaw dropping Matt. Man, I really just love both knives.
 
I never would have predicted your next knife would be a hidden tang OR a dagger. And what a really beautiful pattern on that!
 
Matt both knives are super. But my neo is "AWESOME".....then again maybe I'm just a little bit prejudice..:-)..thank you for the great craftmanship. I look forward to recieving it.

Thanks everyone. I am pretty happy about how they turned out. I have a snow day from teaching today, so I have some sheath work to do. Hopefully these will be ready by the end of the week.
 
Wow! The San Mai thing has taken your stuff to a new level of DO WANT!!! Those are beautiful.
 
Who has two thumbs and loves both of those knives?:thumbup::D:thumbup: This Guy!!!!!
 
I dont know how I missed this post! Matt those are both amazing, I think you should be doing more Daggers and Hidden Tangs... Can't wait to see the pants you put on them!
