Four new ones from East Branch Knives - Two Left!

[East Branch Knives]

I finally got to spend some time in the shop after what seemed like FOREVER, so I finished up a few I've been working on for quite a while. Three are a new model called the Alpine Valley, and the fourth is a Legend Creek Plus (a Legend Creek with sculpted handle scales). Each one comes with a Kydex sheath.

First up: Alpine Valley in Desert Ironwood I had avoided using Desert Ironwood b/c it's so expensive but now that I've used it, it's knocked bocote out as my favorite! The way it glows is just awesome!
Steel - 1080 @ 57.5-59HRC ground from 1/8" stock
Hardware:SS
OAL: 7.875"
Blade: 3.75" tip to ricasso
Grind: Convex
Finish: Satin
Price:$96-SOLDshipped in the USA

I etched a little prematurely, so a lot of the etches got sanded off during finishing, as shown in these photos:

Next up: Alpine Valley in Kingwood This one and the cocobolo have nice fat handles that feel great in the hand!
Steel - 1080 @ 57.5-59HRC ground from 1/8" stock (I ground this one a little thinner when flattening the profile so its closer to 3/32")
Hardware: Aluminum
OAL: 8"
Blade: 3.875" tip to ricasso
Grind: Convex
Finish: Satin
Price: $96-SOLD shipped in the USA

This one has some scratches that developed during etching as shown here, and the etching turned out kinda jacked up:

Next up: Alpine Valley in Cocobolo
Steel - 1080 @ 57.5-59HRC ground from 1/8" stock
Hardware:Brass
OAL: 7.75"
Blade: 3.75" tip to ricasso

Price:Reposted shipped in the USA

Last up: Legend Creek Plus in Bocote

I like the knives, But this is just plain { Respect } that I have never seen from another new maker...

I'm a hobbyist making knives in my spare time, and my pricing reflects that. If you can afford to spend a little more, buy a knife from a full-time maker. You won't be sorry!

I wish you the best of luck an great success friend.. :thumbup:

 

[Leethal Cutlery]

Huge Respect!!!
Dont sell yourself short tho brother! You make a solid knife!

Thanks very much to both of you, I realize that pictures don't often do justice to the level of craftsmanship that makers who do this full time are able to attain (nor could they w/r/t qualities such as finely tuned heat treat etc. which obviously can't be conveyed in a photo), so I'd like people to realize how uniquely valuable a piece from a FT maker really is. I do my best in the time I have, but there really is no substitute for the experience and commitment of a full time craftsman.

Thanks Troutfisher! I like your name and avatar! There's pretty decent fishing around here. I'd like to start working with some stainless steels so I can start making some bird&trout knives.

Nice knives. Good luck to you, hope you sell them all..

Thanks Jim! I do too, but if I don't they'll always have a welcome spot in my already chock-full drawer-o-knives!
