looks great John. i like the cherry handles. should be a great skinning blade. :thumbup:

 

[Mack]

Very cool. It looks like a great hunting/skinning blade. I bet it was fun to hammer out.

 

[JK Knives]

It was fun, and very relaxing!

 

[glennbad]

Very therapeutic, banging on something like that. (on purpose)

Looks great!

 

[YoungCurmudgeon]

Looks great. Awesome job on #1!

 

[heefageLA]

Wowza! Great job man!

Id like one like that but with the blade reversed on the other side. Kind of like a Cotton Sampler knife.

That's awesome, can't wait to see some of these for sale!

 

[JK Knives]

Very soon.

Well I'll be damned, that is a damned fine looking knife!
Congrats to you both!

 

[BTW]

Very cool!.... similar to the Marbles.

Did you have a design in mind before starting or let the steel take you to the finished product? I'm looking forward to being able to get my first forged JK, very nice work!

 

[JK Knives]

The steel led the way, but I learned a few tricks doing this one. I hammered out another this morning, and I showed the steel who was boss this time.

Nice :thumbup:.

I thought about your forging yesterday. I was out for a walk with the Mrs. and found a couple RR spikes near an old, unused spur.
