Hello all,
Well, I’ve been working with and testing some Cru-forge V steel I got from Kelly Cupples for several months now and I’ll be posting my first couple of available pieces today. This is a great new steel for me and I know I’ll be doing a lot more blades with these steel, especially with my “antiqued” finish since it takes one so well. I hope you like them as well.
Thanks again,
J.

Here is a re-creation of my "Forest Ghost" model in Cru-forge V and a bit ... darker.
This full-tang Drop-point Hunter is forged from edge-quenched Cru-forge V high carbon steel with a 4 1/2" cutting edge, top clip and a file worked thumb rest. The entire knife, tang and all, has my "antiqued" finish. The handle scales are stabilized and green dyed, Exhibition-grade Maple Burl wood that has been done in a "palm swell" style. The scales are secured with stainless steel handle bolts with a matching lanyard liner.The overall length on this knife is 9 1/2" and it comes with a fully tooled leather pouch sheath with a belt loop by Lance Parrish.
Price, with leather sheath: $450.00, plus shipping.

Hello All,
Here is the second knife available in the new Cru-forge V steel I’m using. I really wanted to keep this one for myself but, I was reminded I’m in the process of building a new shop, so.....
I hope you like it.

This new "Woodsman's Knife" is a hidden-tang Clip-point Hunter forged from Cru-forge V high carbon steel. The blade is 5 1/4" and has forge-marked and acid soaked flats as well as my "antiqued" finish and the flats and bevels. The contoured guard is silica bronze with a matching hammered set pin in the handle. The handle itself is pressed and stacked leather with a Sambar Stag crown pommel end and thin black G-10 spacers on either side ofthe leather. The leather and rear spacer have been filed to match the stag. The overall length on this piece is 10 3/4" and the knife comes with a fully tooled leather blade sheath with belt loop, retention strap and Tegu lizard inlay work by Lance Parrish.
Price, with leather sheath: $700.00, plus shipping.

You got it! Went there with the wife last year, best raw oysters I've ever had. Tried to get a t-shirt but, they were out of them. Never see a place with just the J and no -ay. Tickled me to no end.
 
I have had thousands of oysters there. The waitresses were outrageous there back in the 80's... Good times. Russ
 
It was a real nice place, next time I'm up that way, I'll go again.

Sorry, threads got merged...

The "Dark Forest" knife is sold, the "Woodsman's Knife" is currently available.
Thanks again.
J.

Mind blowingly amazing work there sir. And if I may add, Now that is a Woodsman's knife! I absolutely love it. Becoming increasingly difficult not to say I'll take it....

Trying to see photos.
 
Both knives are beautiful but I especially love the second one. The texture on the sheath is awesome.
