Couple black woody's

[Raymond Richard]

Here's a couple I've been working on this past week. Both have African blackwood handles with wrought iron fittings. Top knife has a hand forged 4 1/4" saw steel blade and the bottom one is from the 1084 that Mace was selling threw Shop Talk. Big difference in the look of the two handles. The handle on the top knife was from a recent purchase and the bottom one was from a piece that survived the fire. It was alittle chared on the surface but fine after I finished it off.

Nice work, I like them both a lot! They have a nice antique look to them.

Both look great Ray. I wouldn't mind seeing a top view of the upper knife.

Ray yes they look great.

I like the shape of handle on#1 & that #2 doesn't have guard gives good flow of lines.
