wow! thats some great looking stuff. i especially like the drawknife and the third striker from the top. i use draw knives alot for bushcraftish stuff, but this is one of the only other times ive seen someone else with one. Great work!
 
dude.. :eek: those things rock...:thumbup: i really like that little draw knife and ulu... great work...:D
 
nice looking blades.

loving that little drawknife...does it have integral handles?
 
Dudes and Dolls..... That little draw knife is the bee's knees..... 2 1/2" wide blade and 2" handles.... great for bow making in the field I would think.... I made a leather "tube" sheath for it today.

Thanks for the compliments

that thing is bad a$$.... i want one...:D
 
Yes, I use file steel for my strikers... but tend to shy away from it for knives... you never know it there are stress cracks in them.... all it takes is one drop on the concrete. I did make the draw knife from a file... but it was one of my own and in pretty good shape. The blades were made from O1.
