very nice line up there. I was not always a fan of the Gaucho knife, as I used to be stuck on having a guard, but that design has really grown on me lately. I like the bow leg joe's too. Like a small Nessmuk, without the point. I have been thinking of making a similar style, like a warncliff, or sheeps foot, without much point, and with a bit of a curve or belly to the edge.
 
Thanks guys. The wood layering is fun for me. I started out making furniture, then switched to knives. Plus, I've got a lot of great wood dealers around me here, so I have a lot of choice!
 
Andy, that's some fantastic work! I like and would be proud to own any of those. Very nice look and finish.

Your just getting better and improving :) Really liked everything you created in the loose pictures. Favourite would be the woodsman :D
 
Love the wood layers. I have done similar stuff by just epoxying the layers together. Is that what you do, or do you have a different technique?

Thanks!!! I use mostly superglue anymore, especially with the liners. Seems like the superglue penetrates the liners better than epoxy. Maybe its just me. (Its faster too!)

They all look good but I think that purple heart and maple Bow Legged Joe is my favorite.
Thanks for sharing Andy.
 
Thanks William. I get a lot of good feeback on that Bow Legged Joe.
 
Andy, I continue to be really impressed with your work. Classy, but definitely not just safe queens. You rock!

THanks man. I wish my wife was impressed. Its all I can do to get her to hold one...

Oh well. A man can't have everything!;)
 
I heard that. My girlfriend doesn't give much of a hoot about knives, but I can't complain cuz she brags me up and introduces me to everyone she knows that hunts, etc. So I appreciate her support that way :)
 
Love that criollo! It just screams "Argentina" to me.:thumbup:

And I really couldn't be happier with my Woodsman.:D
