I posted some of these before, but I think I made my thread title a bit too generic and it got buried. Looking for some feedback.

These are some of my first completed knives. I had posted my first two a few months back. This makes 9 knives I have finished so far.

All are completely made by me, with the exception of the heat treat. They're all A2 tool steel, most are right hand chisel ground, and heat treated to 59-60 by Brad at Peters.

I hope you guys enjoy them, and as always, questions, and feedback are always welcome.

Thanks!

Josh Mason

Those look excellent!!! I love that one in the middle in the first picture with the red ray-skin. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of chisel grinds. I'm not sure if you do this already, but maybe you could offer a full flat v-grind (just like how that second model is ground) on those wharncliffe models. I think it'd appeal to a wider range of people if they had the choice. Great craftsmanship though! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Josh, those are excellent, very nice finish work and those handle wraps are the coolest!

I wish we lived closer so you could show me how thats done!

nicely done. Really dig your mark, it looks awesome.
 
i showed these to my mom and dad, and they just don't understand the chisel grind. They like the full flat grind alot better, as it makes sense to them.

I think I will do a few of the the wharncliffe style with a double flat grind, and a more rounded traditional shape. I think people think these are weird....lol. I'll try some with a drop point, and some other traditional shapes.

Hey steve, thanks for your kind words. I'll show you whatever I know, just ask!

Thanks everyone for your kind words. Look for some of these on the exchange section soon
