Here is a set that I recently finished. The bowie is made of 5160 and the blade is 11" long. It has stainless fittings and an African Blackwood handle. The hunter is 4 1/2"s of 1084 and features the same handle and fittings. This is my first piece that I have fileworked and even at that, it is a simple groove. I guess Im just a simple kind o' guy! I was given alot of freedom on this set and loved it. Thanks for looking.

Now you've gone and done it. Danbo will be in here any minute describing these as "lovely". ;)

This pair rocks Brett. "Elegant" was the first word that came to mind for me as well. There is a real graceful flow to the lines of the big camp knife and the small hunter looks like a handy precision tool.

I can't wait to get my mits on this set! :D ;)

Brett's work just keeps getting better and better.
 
Thanks for the comments!

Lin, I really like blackwood so far. It works easily and seems stable. It has alot of activity in the grain at times and is "elegant" to me.

Roger, I appreciate the freedom that you allowed me on this set. I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks again,
Brett
