That's a great Lloyd.

That is correct! Thank you for having it done. The hollow grind on the main is nuts.

I agree!! A real work of punch art!!!

At one time, I was determined to get a Harness Jack made by every Custom maker I admired!!

Makes sense -- they are all beauties, Charlie!

Thank you! Glad to see it has taken off as much as it has.

Here's a Bose pattern sowbelly trapper I recently finished. It was a really fun knife to build. Can't wait to do another.

Grinds and finish on the blades look perfect!!

I have posted most of these before, but may be ok in this tread dedicated to customs. Made some of these for my wife, but most are long gone.

Some little utility knives. Always liked them a lot, but did not keep any.

Not traditional for everyone, but it is a standard lockback.

Thank you John. I'm not a big fan for how A2 finishes compared to AEB-L or CPM154. I'm working towards being more consistent with belt finishes. I thunk they look best with this steel.

Awesome! Great work. For some reason I think of sea shells

I recently got this knife which was listed as a lambsfoot and in the original picture it sort of looked like it had a bit of a slant down the spine of the blade, but when I got it not so much. I'm thinking it's more of a sheepsfoot. Anyone able to tell me one way or the other?

Like my Todd Davison, I'd say that is a Sheepsfoot, rather than a Lambsfoot Gus. It's a very nice one

Not mine, but I could not find a thread to post this interesting multibladed multitool knife. Used to be a common way for makers to show off their skills.
If I recall correctly the owner, who let me play with it, told me that it was made in Germany.

Thank you Jack. I just got a response from the maker on instagram. He confirmed it’s a sheepsfoot. I guess the seller was a bit confused. Guess I’m still on the hunt for a lambsfoot. They are surprisingly hard to find.

Either way
She's beautiful
