How about this for a beast!?

The blade is about 2.5 inches deep. The overall length is about 8.5 inches.

The scales are Buffalo and Giraffe bone. I could do one in Mammoth tooth if someone liked that idea...
 
You have 4 knives for sale and no one knows you. How about an introduction as to who you are, where you are and how you make your knives. Do you only use Brad's damascus or do you use other materials? When you post pics, make them big enough to see. Do you have a website? These things will help you. Welcome to Blade Forums.;)
 
I am new here as you say...just learning how to use this forum.

My company is James Noble Knives...you can google it.

My family have made knives on and off in Scotland for hundreds of years. I revived it with the help of two old craftsmen up in Perth Scotland to start making top quality hunting knives.

I'm really into fishing, hunting and camping. I own a lot of woodland in the UK and I realised that knives were big news again with Bushcrafter and other people intereted in woodland, hunting and camping.

I've spent the past three years experimenting with different ways of making hunting knives and trying some new things. I've been selling these types of knife for a few years mainly in the UK but with a few US customers. So far I haven't had a complaint. In fact some people say that the knives are too cheap...hell we just enjoy making them.

Now I plan to spread the word and create lots of really great hand made knives.

Hope this helps?
 
That is beautiful work! If I've converted £ to $ correctly on your sight, your pricing on your knives there is very reasonable. Good to have you here!
 
I really think there is a niche available for quality, reasonably priced sgian dubhs made in Scotland. Do/can you make them? What do you charge for shipping?

i am just not use to having the forum knifemakers refer to thier knives as stunning exquised etc. i can see these statements being used as advertisements to the general population but for the forum it seems a bit much, but i also understand that its your high pride in your work that may make you feel comfortable expressing yourself in that way-and that is fine- i am just being a bit judgemental -pleae take no offense--just not used to makers presenting their work in that way. lets be friends-marekz

Welcome to the Forum Timbo!

You all do make some fine looking knives, & Brad V's Damascus is certainly some fine steel.

I personally like how you describe your knives... keep it up, it is "refreshing". :) .....
It comes across to me as honest pride in your workmanship..... :thumbup:

While many knifemakers are humble in their descriptions, I think this may be more of a regional language issue. He appears to be Scottish (I'm assuming), so these ways of describing ones work may be more common in Scotland than in the US.

Welcome to the BF! I like your work.

I invite you to get to know the knifemakers on this board by actively joining our discussions in the Shoptalk forum.

Again, Welcome.
