They are both A2 steel RC59-60 Top one is mesquite and bottom is black linen and cocobolo. I tried some more file work and a machine finish on these two. I also trie a dove tail bolster on the second one. Whatcha think?



Oh this is Boots he's a Chi-Weenie dog. He is my three year old daughter's best buddy.

Thanks, I just noticed grit on the file work in the top knife pic.:grumpy:
 
Beautiful and Dangerous! What could be better? Very nice work.

Very nice knives. I wish I had the shop time you have.

I'm glad that the fuzzy cheeto dog hasn't torn your leg off:D
 
Those look like some nice, ready to be put to work, knives. Nice work. I really like the handle on the second one.

Those look nice. Now let's see them in a couple of equally nice sheaths. ;)

Nice knives, I really like the file work on the top blade.

Well...if you're willing, I could make you kydex sheaths for those two. Just pay shipping back and forth. What do you think?
 
Thanks DU! I have the leather for them here. Its just a pain cause they never come out like my minds picture.
 
I did and it is great. Its just my stitching in the back is about as crooked as the Rio Grande River. I just need to get a press to punch the holes straight. I am just using a mallet and a thicker needle now. I am getting better with each one. Here is the last one.
