Just pulled the camera out of the shop for new batteries and thought I would upload some pics in the meantime.
Laid out top to bottom; ship knife for a friend who is moving back here, hunting knife for another friend, fillet knife for a guy at work who's giving it as a christmas present, a random pattern damascus not spoken for yet, dagger for my father who is getting into western shooting. He wants it to go with his colt six shooter.
The handle materials; brass, ebony, sycamore (thanks mark at burl source) for the hunter, forge welded copper and what I thought was rosewood but I now suspect is tulipwood, for the fillet knife, whitetail antler and red liners for the dagger, bloodwood for the ship knife and ebony for the damascus. Not sure what pins I will be using for them all though, I have brass, steel and copper to work with.
I will post more pics as I get more done.
