I have been making knives for about a year and come to this forum everyday. I just thought that I would finally introduce myself. Full tang hunting style knives is all that i have made so far.
Here are the last few that I have made. Sorry for the poor cell phone pictures. Better pictures is something that i am working on.
Knives 14, and 15 made from 1075 Amboyna Burl, and Buckeye Burl.


Knife 16 is 1075, and Koa.


Thanks for sharing all your knowledge. Ty Adams
 
Nice work. I really like #16's shape and well anything koa.
 
Nice looking knives! Have you used any micarta or g10 at all? I just finished my first knife using wood with becote.
 
These are excellent! Nice fit and finish and some really good pieces of wood on those. Well done. :thumbup:

Blessings,
Joshua

Thanks kukari. Koa has become a little bit of a problem for me lately. Well woods from Hawaii.

Koa and Mango. This picture doesn't do it justice.

Thanks. I have used Micarta 3 of the first 4 made had it as the handle material. G10 is something that I am going to avoid until I get better ventilation in my garage. Where in Montana are you?
 
Very clean work on practical designs. I hope we'll be seeing more from you now that you have stepped into the light.

It's an addiction. An expensive one.

Yes it is an addiction. Expensive, but I am looking at it as an investment. It did not take long for me to figure out that good Koa is hard to find. It also doesn't look like it will get easier anytime soon.

No. I'm hoarding it like I was hoarding m193 before the election 😂

I'm in Shelby MT north of Great falls. I would agree the addiction of knife making has been getting expensive.
