First up is a TK-4 Mini Bowie in CPM 3V heat treated to RC-62 by Paul Bos. The handle scales are green canvas micarta with red liners and a mosaic pin.

This one should cut like CRAZY!

The arrows are my new wooden arrows. This color pattern is called Firefly and they are BRIGHT! Should be able to see them no problem in low light. The broadheads are modified grizzlies!

Next up is BIG knife I finished up today. This is the second BEAST I have made. This is a heavy duty blade!

Overall length is 12 7/8" with a 6 3/4" blade of 3/8" A2 with a Paul Bos heat treatment. The blade is a full flat grind. The handle scales are textured Pumpkin (orange/black) G-10. Got this one done in plenty of time for Halloween....

Here are the pics shot with my 10mm Dan Wesson with pumpkin G-10 grips by Laza the grip wizard.

I also recently finished up 3 Double Eights! These are a whole lotta fun to grind... :rolleyes:

Overall length is 8 1/2" with a 3 7/8" blade. Standard thickness is 3/16" D2 with heat treat by Paul Bos.

This one has blasted brown canvas micarta and a tapered tang.

Textured black G-10 with red liners.

This one turned out pretty wicked! Its a 1/8" scandi ground CPM 3V blade with blasted black canvas micarta and red liners.

Last but not least...:foot:

Here is the first Krein Bowie I have finished. This is a BIG knife! Overall length is 16 5/8" with a 10" blade. The blade steel is A2 with Paul Bos heat treat and has a full flat grind.

The handle scales are textured red/black G-10.

The balance is right at the front corby bolt, or over the index finger. It feels very quick and lively in the hand. The handle has a very nice oval shape that allows a lot of control over the blade and orients the edge nicely.

That is a full size Glock 20 in 10mm that is looking small in the picture!! :eek:

Thanks for looking!

Mr. Krein these are all great blades especially that bowie. And I'm sure their sharp as anything.
 
I would love a mini, mid sized, and full sized bowie matched set, how cool would that be.
 
Tom your are on top of your game!

I love how you bring your style to every knife you make. There is no way you can look at a Krein and not know its a Krein.

That Bowie is sweeeeet! Love the clip shape and swedge grind! :cool:
 
It's great to see another Traditional bow hunter makes knives as well.
(I shoot vented Magnus)
That Mini Bowie is awesome!
 
Tom,

Your work continues to impress in all facets.

A very wide variety of working knives still reasonably priced with great execution and attention to the details. :thumbup:

Outstanding.

And as stated earlier, this is a maker at the top of his game in talent, craftsmanship, and the sheer amount of stuff he churns out. :)
 
Real nice selection of Kreinage ya got goin' on, Tom.........love that BIG Bowie and Scandi-ground Double Eight!!! :cool:
 
They all look great!#2(The Beast!) is my favorite:D:thumbup:...you make some "beefy" knives Tom;)
