These are a couple of new designs I have been working on! The first one is 9" overall w/ 4" cutting surface. PLEASE DISREGUARD THE HANDLE COLOR THIS IS JUST SOMETHING I HAD LYING AROUND! I intend on using both carbon fiber and black G-10 on a couple of them.. Please let me know what you think your opinions are greatly apreciated! I know the craftmanship on this on leves a little to be desired but it is just a mock up that I threw together this morning...

The second ones are a couple on necker designs I have been playing with and I would love to hear your comments on those too!!!

Sweet looking knives.:thumbup:
 
I like the one in the middle the best. question, how do the scales bolt on or does it not use scales? Cool blade shape with that hollow top edge.
 
I was not intending on puting scales on the neckers! What do you think? I know the pics don't show but all have hallow top swedge!
 
Middle one definately... The Warnies have that top swedge, something about it dosen't look as attractive as the others, maybe it's bkuz I'm not a Warnie fan... The top one is a definite winner, Nothing about it I don't like,, Nice profile, looks comfortable, thumb grip is good,,, a+! will it have leather of kydex sheath? Either one will be good.

I was afraid to ask if that was a tight hollow swedge. I like that and appreciate how difficult it is to do. Nice work man.
 
I really like the top one, If anyone hassles you on handle color use the "high Vis" excuse. :D
Also I like the left one in the lower pic. All around great designs. Nice grinds too :thumbup:
 
I really like those! The styling on the first is great, I like the profile and the handle is a perfect shape. How usable is the choil?

My favourite necker is the last one. I like the wharncliffes but the swedges are a little too intense on them for me .
 
I really like the top one and the wharnie necker. I guess I'll be the odd man out 'cause I really like that handle color.
 
Yep that color is so awful you should get rid of it- I know a collection it would fit right in with!!

My vote if for the Wharncliffe- but then again I like them and full sized ones are rare!
 
Wow those are beautiful. I like the larger one on the left in the bottom photo and I think we have a consensus on the middle one. ;)
 
I know a few boys over in W&SS that would really like that first one. As for the neckers, I like the middle one too. It reminds me of a SOG green beret knife (or whatever it's called, you know what I mean) in a good way. They all look great though, nice clean grinds! I'd think scales would be optional on any of those, they're cool "plain" but would also look nice with something on them.
What steel are they? Do you use a mill to skeletonize the tangs?
In any case, keep up the good work! :thumbup:
