These are both made of 3/32" O1 stock. The first one is for a guy from another forum. He wanted a Hiker with red liners, he said he would supply the wood. His father used to make muzzleloading rifles, and he had some bird`s eye maple he wanted me to use on his knife. Here it is.

This one is a Hiker`s Backup, with a 3" blade, and cocobolo. It`s for one of our members here.

Both of those are beautiful.

You have any 3/32" 1095? Methinks it would make an awesome game knife in a Budget Hunter...
 
:eek:That wood is just amazing, Just amazing!! I really like your hiker model. Its one of my faveorites from ya. :thumbup:

I have a drawing for ya, Just waiting on some $, and some new 1911 grips to put on it.:thumbup:
 
Man both of those handles look amazing, it would be a hard choice to pick one but I think I would have to go with the cocobolo, the grain on that is superb !!!!

Great work !!!!
 
3/32" :thumbup:
I like the way you shaped the butt on the first one - just a little different, unless that's just the photo. Woodwork looks great, John.:thumbup:

I dropped the butt a little more than the older models, more of a curve.

They should perform very well by the way the look.

Man that birdeye maple is pretty, but the grain in that cocobola is amazing!
 
The guy I get my handle material from has been outdoing himself sending me nice pieces.
 
That hikers backup in 3/32 sounds like a winner. Whats the OAL on those. 3 inch blade with 3.5 in. handle would be nice. After Christmas I think I will have to get with you about one of those.

The handle is just under 3 1/2", but since they are made one at a time, that can be adjusted.

Do it I love mine.

My 4 5/8" Kephart from John is my main belt knife. It keeps a fairly obtuse edge angle (around 45-50 degrees) with a "toothy" finish for hard work in the woods. I keep a Hiker's Backup in my pack that sports a highly polished edge at about 30 degrees (total). Man that thing cuts like a laser...
