I have not posted in a long time, but I thought I would put this up. Here are some on the work bench that I am building for the Canadian Knifemakers Guild show.

A 7" cocobola coffin handle Bowie from 1084. A 8" Flaming walnut fighter forged from 1084 with a hamon under the tape. And what I hope to be my main piece, a 12" D-Guard from W2 that was clay quenched. It still has a long way to go, as the fitting need final shaping and polishing. Then the bow and final need to be hot blued. The blade needs to be polished to 1500 grit and etched. Hopefully I can get everything done in time for the show.

Well, finally got one finished!

12" of W2 with a real good hamon.

The handle is Desert Ironwood with Stainless ferrule, spacer, and end cap. The bow and final are carbon steel that has been plum brown (muzzleloader barrel finish) finished.

Four more to go in order to the a good showing on my table at the up and coming show.

Enjoy the not so good photo.

Kudos to you, beautiful work. The blade looks like a cold steel trail master. :thumbup:
I'd love to have a blank like that, but im sure my wallet would suffer for work like that.
