A Gus, Ironwood on a tapered full tang in 5160

A Loveless style Drop Point Hunter. Ironwood and CPM154

And a Chopper, Ironwood on a tapered tang in W2 with a pretty nice Hamon.

Hope you guys like em

I really ... really like all of those, but that big chopper just SPEAKS TO me... If it's for sale let me know... dibs. :) :thumbup:
 
Like em all! The choppers hamon is really cool. These must have great balance and feel great in the hand with that tapered tang and handle design.
 
WOW!!! :eek:

David, those are gorgeous. I love what you're doing with the guards on the Camp and Gus. And the sheathwork is really nice :thumbup:
 
Thank you Peter :thumbup: :)

xaman ....... ;) Thank you very much :thumbup:
 
Those are some great looking knives. I especially love the hunter. It looks very similar to my first custom, a Loveless style hunter made by the venerable Joe Cordova out of 52100. :thumbup:
 
they look great.....i especially like the top 2 in the group photo.....i hope they see some good use....ryan
 
Very nice group of knives!:thumbup:
The little 'un gets my preference.

Nice work!

Kind regards,

Jos

That's funny, my reaction was the exact opposite; I like everything about them except the guard, it's too long to my eye. That Gus is especially good looking. Where does that name come from?
 
Thank you Dudley :D

Thanks for the honest opinion resinguy :thumbup: I like that ;)

Gus was my Grandfather .............. toughest SOB I've ever known, and a heckuva a good man. I thought making a blade in his memory would be cool :cool:
