Fixed blades

Put it this way, if you took away the Volunteers, Bussekin, CPK’s, etc and left me with only production knives I would choose the Architect Knives every time without fail.

I received an email from them saying a new model or line was coming out but haven’t been able to find any info. If I can make myself wait I’d like to see their mew model before I ordered one of the 6.5 or 5.5 models.

Does yours on the left of pic have G10 scales on it?

Yes, they both do. There’s both G10 and micarta options. There’s a huge amount of sheath, attachment and scale options.
 
My Volunteer Model 11 was just delivered (3 days early) and it is sweeeeeeet! The handle is great and texture of the micarta is perfect for not slipping and not causing irritation. Balance is how I like it for a blade this size. Beautifully finished knife. Rock solid sheath. The packaging was excellent too. Can’t wait to use it (I will carry it next week on a snowmachine trip to my cabin). This knife is going to get some use! I could not be happier with it.

After seeing this one, I am even more excited about getting the 3.5 I ordered. What a great company to deal with.

Everything I’ve made is on here somewhere. I’m more of a hobby maker so I don’t have a very high output. I post all my completed stuff and a few disasters in the making on the knifemaker’s side. These two are variations of the same knife I’ve finished in the last 4-6 weeks. I’m playing with the profile a bit. IMG_0089.jpegIMG_0181.jpeg

Those blade profiles look insane (in a good way). Any particular intended purposes? 👍👍👍

The top one is a little general/hunting knife profile I’ve been playing with. I used the first one on a whitetail last year and made a few minor changes to the design based on that experience. For whatever reason I decided to make it as thin as possible and still (hopefully) be functional this time around. The middle one is just an all around knife for the heck of it. The bottom one started out as a camp/butcher knife concept I dreamed up while I was watching tv one day and made a version of several months ago. I was trying to make rev1 of it and made a pretty bad mistake that forced me to re-profile it and thin it way out. I call it the firebird in my notebook because it rose from the scrap bin to knife again. It’s a kitchen knife now I guess. Below is the original version before I put my logo on it. It was 3/16“ 80CrV2. I just enjoy sketching stuff that I think looks interesting then trying to make it. I always tell people I couldn't make the same knife twice if I had to. They’re all an adventure.
