First up is a Kim Breed personal carry. 3-3/4" hand forged blade (sorry I don't know the steel) flat ground, 8-3/8" overall. Stacked leather handle, and I think the crown but is whitetail. Spacers of black micarta, nickel silver, and white micarta.
Kim often writes reviews for Blade magazine, and is half of B&W Bladeworks. The fit and this knife is great. A flaw in finish in that there's some discoloration around the solder joint of the guard to blade, though the fit there is tight and smooth. Blade is blued gray. Strong hamon line as you can see in the pics. The stag butt is biased more for right hand carry as you can see from the pic of the top view of the knife.TRADED thanks!
Next is a Hix hand forged semi-skinner. I don't know much about the maker but I do know that the blade is forged 52100 with a differential heat treat and visible temper line. brass guard and stag handle. Blade is approximately 4". This is a beautiful knife that I haven't had the heart to use.
