Hey, everyone. I'll spare you any rambling and get straight to it...

Kelpius. This one is a medium sized camp knife made of 1/8" O1, high flat/saber tempered to 59 Rockwell. The handle is Stabilized Buckeye Burl with black G10 liners and stainless hardware.

Boot Knife. Fairly small boot knife I make. 3/32" O1 with Navy and Natural burlap micarta. The point allows the sheaths welt to handle the knife ambidextrously so it works for righties or lefties and inside or outside of the boot depending on what type of clearance you have in there. I'm pretty lousy at sewing so these sheaths take me forever.

Trout Knife. 5/64" O1. This is just a prototype for now so the O1 choice will likely change. Then again, most trout cleaning happens on dry land so who knows. We'll see how it holds up. Yellow and Oreo burlap micarta for the handle, brass hardware and yellow G10 liners.

Small Camper. Just finished this morning. The smallest (for now) camp knife I make. This one is 1/8" O1 but I'll probably take it down to 3/32" since it's meant to be paired with an axe or folding saw. This one has green canvas and navy burlap micartas with OD green G10 liners and brass hardware.

Kelpius. Another of my larger camp knives, also finished this morning. It's the same as before but with stabilized Maple Burl scales and forest green G10 liners with nickel silver hardware.

That's it, thanks for looking everyone.

Thanks! It's just an instant coffee patina over a hand rubbed finish. Nothing to it.
 
cool, thanks for sharing. i really like the darkness and the hand rubbed lines together. oh and nice photography as well!
 
Hey Craig, thanks! I just replied to you in my dumb question thread. I've found that attention to detail can make up for a lot of what I lack in nice tools at the moment.
 
Great knives! My kind of no-nonsense working knives. I'm partial to wood but nothing wrong with any of these. I particularly like that little trout knife. Nice prince nymphs too!

Thanks man! That trout knife turned out really well. Unfortunately, I haven't had a ton of time to fish so I haven't got to use mine yet.
