Here's a matching pair I wrapped up last week. these pictures were taken before sharpening. These were from 1095, differentially heat treated with clay, with figured maple handles and G-10 liners. The overall length was just under 7 inches. Basket weave tooled sheaths are wet formed and fit the knives very snugly. I'm learning a lot about knife making and still have a lot of learning left to do, but am really enjoying it.
Comments and Questions Welcome!


 
Thank you guys!
Funk Coaster- the pins are carbon fiber, available at hobby shops. I personally like them more than metal pins.

I don't, and the customer already has the knives, otherwise I'd take one and post it. They are tooled on both sides, and belt loop is stitched on in a simple box pattern. I'll take pictures of the back on the next on I do!
By the way, your tip on overlaying the prongs of the basket weave stamp has made a huge difference, thank you for that!
 
You bet. Good deal. I'd like to see a bit of a space between the camo and the stitch line, a border.
 
Thank you!
Marc- you've been one of my largest critiques/ encouragers, and your advice has really helped me grow as a knife maker. Thank you for all your help!
 
No problem Nic. Everybody here is very willing to share and pass on advice. Soon you will be inspiring and helping others as well, if you're not already. It's fun to watch people develop as an artist. You have good skill and your willingness to take suggestion is paying off in your product.
