hunter stags

[eddy.s]

Hi I'm eddy, and these are some knives I just finished for three hunters this fall. I grind and finish the brass and handles by hand, the blades I also grind and finish as well as heat treat my self. they are made of head saw steel (high carbon), as are all my blades. dark handles are elk and the lighter colored one is mule deer. Knife making is a hobby which I love, but not one I have a lot of time for so new knife pic.s will be few and far between lol. Kinda new at the forum thing so not sure what else to say other then thanks for looking and hope you like them.

thanks Dennis. The elk hound actually just showed up on our camping trip last summer and spent the weekend with us, we were able to find her right full owner before we left. She lives on a farm a few miles from the lake and I guess adopting campers is kind of her thing... lol.

NIce knives! I like how the blade follows the flow of the hande. bet they feel good in the hand.

Thanks Miles. Actually that is one of things I'm fussy about, and that is the feel and balance of a knife.
