Fixed blades

Here's a special sheepsfoot done for a retired US Navy Senior Chief, he wanted something for cutting limes (and other everyday tasks) for rum and cokes. I'd say it works well. The edge is ridiculously thin, hollow ground S90V. Handle is vintage black rag micarta from the US Navy in WWII (verified through a reputable source). Nickel Silver corby bolts and a brass CPO decorative pin. red liners to set it off. This is an old pattern that served as the basis for my Pronghorn handle pattern, he admired one I had on the ship years ago, so...decided to resurrect it.

Looks like it would make a great paring knife.
 
I am a masochist...I decided to hand rub 64 HRC Magnacut...up to 1000, and then 1500 to brighten it up.

That took several hours over a 3 day period! Then I learned most hand rub to 320-400 and then do the 600 grit pulls. Oops!

But it is worth it when I snapped this pic! The reflection of the leather and wood is pretty cool!!

And did a little 2.5" baby Magnacut fixie, but in satin belt finish! SOOOO much easier and faster! LOL. Customer wanted to get his son a new, small knife and I had this one I was playing around with making in the shop:
