Christmas Knives Thread

[Hesparus]

I haven't seen a thread this year for knives that are going to be christmas gifts. Let's see them!

Money has been real tight this year, so everyone in my family is getting a knife:
For my Dad:
Puukko
1/8" thick 1084
4" Blade
"cocobolo" dymondwood handle w/ two copper pins and 2 aluminum corby bolts
mustard finish
I made one a lot like this earlier in the year and my dad liked it so much he wanted one of his own

For my brother:
Funayuki
1/8" 1084
7" blade
"cocobolo" dymondwood handle w/ copper pins

For my mom:
Sgian Dubh
1/8" 1084
3" blade
handle is paracord over kydex and a piece of Clan Dunbar tartan (my mother is a Dunbar). Originally, the section of tartan I used showed the pattern better, but after the glue and shellac the green looked too dark and I didn't think it looked good at all.
menuki is white-lipped pearl to match the one I made for my dad last christmas
mustard finish

handle detail:

For my friend:
Shiseiji Bocho ("bastard knife")
1/8" 1084
6.5" blade
"cocobolo" dymondwood handle with copper pins

I can see why. That's a good looking knife.:thumbup:

Here are a a couple pics of one i am just finishing up for a friends brother. 1084 with Buckeye and stainless pins. This was basically my friends idea that we built the design around. Second pic is just some very basic filework on the handle.

The handle looks lumpy but that is just the light and dark showing up strangely with the color of the wall and my old camera.

Started my own thread yesterday on a knife for my dad. I'll post a link rather than re-post the pictures...unless y'all want the pics here.
