Couple new ones

[tito]

Man, I liked how these turned out, but the makers posting on here never fail to take me down a notch. I'm posting these up anyway, just because I want to show them to somebody. I am working on leather for both today, and still need to build a light box for some decent photos.

The top one is 5/32 1095 full tang with a triple quench. I left the handle with a 400grit hand rubbed finish, instead of buffed.

The bottom is 5/32" Admiral damascus. This is a modified hidden tang design, and includes red liners along the bolsters and between the handle slabs. This design is more time consuming, but lets me get two 8" knives out of a 14" peice of steel, saving around $40, depending on the type of damascus. I think it also looks good with the single liner running down the center of the spine, but that's just me.

Both have blk G10 bolsters, SS liners, mosaic pins (which I friggin forgot to align on both), and Cocobolo handles.

I'm glad you posted these two , they're both great looking knives and appear to fit the palm very well.

Nice work on these. A top down photo would be good to see.

Great looking pair of knives. I think I like the pin arrangement on the top one best, but both look good.

The guy's that want to take you down a notch, must be jealous of your talents, or they may like your work as I do, and only make comments to help.
For sure, those are two excellent knives.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Original, I didn't mean that other makers were picking on me (they aren't, for sure) - just that the quality of the work posted on here is so high. Every time I come up with something I think is great, I get on here and find out that it's more like the average

Here's a couple of pics, top-down and bottom-up. Still working on that light box...

BTW, that's a black spacer between the stainless spacer and the G10 bolsters, not a gap.

These are beautiful knives. I love the "movement" of the top knife, like a great piece of art.

Are these both sold already?

I love the choice of materials and the lines on these two knives.

Are these both sold already?

Nope, although one person has expressed interest in the damascus blade. I'm not sure yet whether he's serious, or may want something different. I was going to post them for sale once I got sheaths finished. If you're interested, please PM me for prices with or without leather.

thanks, Coty
