I finished up a couple of handles last night. One Bushcrafter Jr, and one Bushie Sr variant. I did a clipped point and a very slight recurve on this one. Its got a natural canvas micarta handle with a corby bolt and one of my bullseye lanyard tubes. The other is black canvas mikarta and mosaic pins with a large brass lanyard tube. They're 5/32 01 steel with a full heighth convex grind.

Also, I thought I'd put up a pic of the JRE sheaths. I'm very happy with JRE's sheaths they've been doing for me. And I don't know if you've noticed there have been a lot more knives coming around lately!! Yahoo!

Those are snazzy. I really like that large lanyard hole - should be good for everything from braided leather to paracord.
 
Thanks y'all! Its been fun. Now when I make a sheath, its because I want to!! Big difference!
 
They look great Andy, you have really taken your knives up to a whole new level recently !!!
 
VERY nice builds! I like em both. Feel free to send them to me for a testing ;) Jk. Seriously, those are both beauts!
 
Your finishing on these knives looks very good, you are def impoving on your overall finish of your knives. They both look very comfortable, I particularly like the lanyard hole on the 2nd one.
 
Those are both awesome. I think I like the first one the most, except the slight recurve. I seem to find myself either liking a straight edge or a curvy recurve.

I bet they both feel great in the hand and just scream to cut some stuff.

Great work.

WOW, what a great looking knives!!

I like the black one very much!
Do you take (international) orders?

Take care,

Thanks Guys! I don't take orders though. I don't mind shipping internationally, but I won't lie on customs forms.
 
Awesome work, Andy. I, too, really like the thong hole in the second knife. Being that large would definitely make it more useful, although I'm not quite sure, at the moment, how.

I guess it could be used as an arrow sizer, when reducing shoots to the right diameter and also as an arrow straightener.

Actually, that would be an interesting exercise. Let's say you make the thong hole 3/8". What are some of the uses it could be put to? (No Ilbruche, I'm not from the Midwest. :D)

I'm not sure of any alternate functions, but it does look neato to have a large lanyard tube. It had been a while since I'd done one. Its funny the patterns people get into.
