Thanks for looking!
 
Thanks, "Ava" is my first attempt at a tapered tang. I was very happy with how it came out. The black palm was a little finicky to work, but well worth it. edge quenched, hand rubbed to 600 grit and acid etched.
 
I really like them.....laser-like cutters I'm sure......but that Anastasia and Ava 'talk to me', especially the Anastasia. :cool:
 
more great looking knives Dan...:thumbup::thumbup: i am really liking the looks of Ava...:D
 
Ha Ha...I figured you would like that one the most out of these three. We came up with that design as a good knife for a Bowyer (bow maker). :D

ha right on.. :) it looks like an awesome little utility knife...i may have to keep that one in mind..:thumbup:
 
Ha ha yes it is, im planning on putting more up tomorrow. hopefully with some work in progress pics of our Easy Rider knife as well.
 
Wow, Ava is beautiful, I love the grain of the black palm and that distal taper must really balance her out.
