I just wanted to share these pics because it's the first one I've done like this and I think it turned out pretty nice. I thought you guys might enjoy seeing. The blade is 3 3/4" long by 1/8" thick, O1 steel. Let me have your thoughts.. Thanks for looking:)

That is some great work.

I havent been a member here long, but since joining I have been admiring alot of your work.

Great job!! Keep up the good work!!
 
Tell me your doin leather again. That bowie I have on order sure would look good in your leather!!

Looks great man, you are an artist Ray. HWK+ looks good in wood!
 
That is a sweet looking knife.

You've stole my heart with that sheath. Pouch style leather is my all time favorite type of sheath.

Great work! I can't wait for that Project W now!!!!
 
Myright, its worth the wait buddy. Im gonna order me another one as soon as my other 2 blades are done....

Holy Laconico, bro!!!!

I'm crazy jealous of that folding Nessie. I'm going to have to beg Ray to make me one.
 
Its a gorgeous knife man. I love it. My only safe queen....

The Project W gets all the play though, partially because its my EDC. Hasnt left my belt or my pocket since I got it.

The HWK+ is my favorite fixed blade. A real winner!!

I have a bowie on order, and a big azz chopper too. Cant wait for them. Not much longer, just about a month hopefully!!
 
Thanks guys for the comments. I really like how this one turned out. I will be making leather sheaths again but mostly be using kydex. I had quit leather work but the demand is too high. It seems most people prefer leather.
 
Great knife Ray! I really like it. I like cocobolo but I can't use it. Does that dust do anything to you? Awesome knife though. I like the sheath too.:thumbup:
 
Cocobolo has no effect on me. I wear a respirator but even if I didn't, I don't feel anything. I've used it more than any other wood. What I don't like is how they gum up sanding belts and paper real quick. I also don't like the way it smells, it's just annoying. The smell stays on my hands for a couple of days. Overall I really like the wood because it's very durable and easy to get.
 
I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it....and it would make a good little brother for my HWK+.
 
Man those are beauts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the Cocobolo and leather, great job Ray!!
