Here are a couple Christmas gifts I have been working on the last couple of days. I still need to clean, sharpen, and stamp
Hunter with 5" blade for Mike my wood supplier.
Honey Locust scales with blue G10 liners. Mike has had this wood for a long time and has sentimental value so when I told him I was making him a knife he asked if I could use it. Really cool stuff

Flat ground with convex edge
Killer curly Myrtle scales with orange G10 liners, stained.
This one is for Andy Roy
I stayed up until 4am working on this one and the lack of sleep got me. I actually forgot to drill the holes for the scales before glue up...I don't know how I didn't see it. Anyways, I decided to save it and drilled through the scales and tang with a carbide bit. It reamed the hole out bigger than the pins so I had to fill it gap. I hate sending a knife out like this but its not horrible and I looooooooved the scales. Andy, you can hide it in your drawer and use it as a shop knife.

Hey, as the old saying goes, " I wanna be like Mike" . . . :) :)
Chris, between the Kephart & Mike's knife, I think my wish list just grew by two models . . . . .
Excellent looking knives all, but there is just something about a 5"-6" blade with a big pointy tip . . . . ;)
Great work.
Be safe.
p.s.: Note to Andy: I can vouch for Chris being up that late, he had company . . . . . :D
 
They all look great Chris & my wish list somehow seems to be constantly growing... Can't get enough of those killer KFU's!
 
Imagine the grin and shouts on Christmas morning if someone had that trio waiting on them under the tree . . . . :D :D
Be safe.
