A few pics as I get ready for the show. I'll get real light box pics once I have finished the knives! I should have 25 or 28 knives including:

3 Bow Legged Choppers
4 Woodsmen
2 Nessmuks
3 EDC's
3 Bow Legged Belt Knives
2 Bushcrafters
2 Hunters
Lots of small knives

So much sanding to do...

Another dozen at least to go. Including the three Bow Legged Choppers.
 
Thanks for sharing this! I always enjoy a little insight into how makers work. I think I see my knife there...no wait...I just ordered it!

Ray, are you on USN?? You need to be. USN is having their first annual knife show titled "the Gathering" over Labor Day week! I was proud to be invited to show my work!
 
Finishing 27 more knives today and tomorrow. Pics!!

Broski, what's the wood on that top knife. I know you told me, but I can't remember. That stuff looks amazing. I need to get some of that. Is it a dyed zebra or something?

Stabalized dyed (2 color) curly maple. This section was mostly blueish green, but there is also a reddish and some will have both!
 
There is some seriously good looking WIP in these pics. Is that black/blue G-10 on that Runt?
 
Sure wish I lived in Nevada ...

I did, however, send e-mails to 10 friends who live out there. Maybe a few will drop by and see how a knife should be made.:thumbup:

Regardless, best of luck young man! And don't let all that Sin and Sunshine turn your head.
 
Andy, do I see my woodsman in there? :eek: PLEASE? :D It sure does look like you got a stabalized oak over EIRW sittin' on that table. I hope, I hope, I hope...;)

Your knife will get started once I return from the show. All of these are show fodder!
