This is Black Swamp Knives first piece, hot off the grinder. Unmarked, of course, because I was in a hurry to finish it. It will truly be a collector's item! :rolleyes: Anyway, this little guy is 3 15/16" OAL with a 2" blade. 1/8" thick 1084 with a Japanese style clay coated heat treat. Orange G-10 handle, black Micarta pin and stainless steel thong hole liner. Designed as a 2-finger knife, can be made to feel stouter with a nice lanyard. Will include a pocket/neck Concealex sheath. I tried a few things on this piece that didn't quite work out, aesthetically, so I'm letting it go for $100 shipped in the USA, Paypal fees included. If you do a non-credit card Paypal purchase or send a money order or cashier's check, will sell for $97 shipped in the USA.

Email for details, more detailed pics, additional info, etc.
edit: For some reason one of the pics doesn't want to load. Try reloading a couple times as this seems to work for me. Also, the knife has a convex blade with a regular flat edge, which means you could sharpen this knife like any other hollow or flat ground knife, or you could roll/convex the edge fully, too.

I did not have hands like a pair of hams,!

I will keep looking at your stuff as it comes out, I really like the look and finish!

Well, you could make it a one-finger knife! :D There will be more, bigger knives, so never fear!
 
I like it! Congratulations on getting the ball rolling with your knife making. Three fingers or more on the handle is the ticket for me.
 
This is a little sucker. Wanted a small fixed blade pocket knife or a small neck knife. I would use it as is, personally, but a lanyard and bead would be a nice addition, too. I would consider a trade, too, for just about any Bark River knife. I have wanted one of their knives for a while, so if a trade is more up your alley I'd do it on this one! Still getting the hang of the transition from filing everything to a big boy grinder, so the first few knives will be little, and probably a little rough around the edges, but they'll all be very valuable collector's items! Ha! ;)
 
I think that looks like a cool little utility knife. I like the shape, and the color makes it sheeple friendly and easy to find.
 
Great looking knife. I'll take it. Email sent. I love 4" chisel ground FB's - they are my favorite every day utility knife.
 
Sold, pending payment. Thanks! My wife will be happy. I got a lot of eye rolling over the weekend, so it'll be nice to tell her I sold it lickety split. For those waiiting for other knives, keep your eyes peeled, but my shop needs a major cleaning before I do anything else, so don't hold your breath. Next knife will be a week out, at the earliest. Thanks for the kind words!
 
Nice knife. Looking forward to your future work. Maybe a bigger version of this knife?
 
Man, I'd be all over one of these w/ a distal taper & an OAL of approx 6" or so.
Like the wharny blade & orange G-10.
