Very clean work, as always, Lee.

If you'd like a little constructive criticism, I do have two minor comments (and these are just my personal preference, so treat them as one guy's humble and not-so-valuable opinion). On the Crux Orion hunter, I believe the visual balance might be improved slightly by making the bolsters a little smaller, perhaps closer to the breadth of the ricasso. On the Crux Instinct Bowie, which I think is absolutely fantastic, the only thing I would have changed is the angle of the plunge cut, so as to make it parallel to the edge of the handle scales. Obviously a very minor thing, but one that I believe might improve the symmetry just a little.

Anyway, as you already know I hope to one day acquire one of your folders, but being more of a fixed blade afficionado I'm very excited about seeing you make a few straight knives too. Keep it up!

That Bowie is AMAZING!
The long clip lends the blade a certain grace and alacrity. I bet it's a joy to wield/hold.



Beautiful work!


Thanks for sharing,

The top one is more to my taste....the Amber dyed scales are very appealing.....clean work.;)
 
Thanks all for the nice feedback. Hope the new owners enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them.
