Kyle as been knockin em out lately. This is an unusual one with 4.25" W2 blade, damascus bolsters, tapered tang & 5460 year old Bog Oak scales, 8.5" oal.

Thanks for looking and please let us know what ya think.



 
Don,

That's a really nice one. Great creativity and execution. Love the bog oak too. Pat him on the back.

Beautiful knife! I'm surprised Kyle hasn't created an account here and started posting on his own. Don, you must be honored and incredibly happy to have a Son who shares the same passion as you, congratulations!
 
I like it even though I'm usually drawn more towards traditional designs.
Fine execution as usual. :thumbup::thumbup:
 
That really turned out nice! Great job, Kyle. Having seen the old pattern, I like the changes you made. We know about how old the bog oak is, and that is some old stock W2 that is some awesome stuff. Whatever gets in this knife's way had best be careful.

Thanks guys!

Kyle does need to get on here and start posting, but I don't know when that will happen? He also needs to get to work on a website and some other stuff...

I am proud of him though!
 
I like unusual knives best of all when I find the design works for my eye. Almost everything about this one works for my eye, save perhaps the ricasso length and the bump/dip in the spine profile at/behind the bolster.

But that's just me. Kudos for going with a wild profile, and the execution looks good and clean too!
 
I like the shape, would prefer about an inch longer on the blade.

While the tapered tang is sweet, I almost never buy carbon steel knives with an exposed tang....because they rust if you are not attentive to them, so browning or bluing might be a good idea.

Coming along very, very nicely.

Best Regards,

A question:

Is the blade offset or laterally displaced with respect to the handle? It sure looks that way from the bottom picture but (to me) that is not apparent from the top picture. If so, what is the purpose of that? TIA!
 
I dig it. Looks like a good kitchen utility knife. I want it actually. I am broke.. Birthday present Don???? =) =) Its today!
 
This one was a favorite. Very different blade shape and has a touch of swayback.

Virginian, that's only an optical illusion. This blade is straight as a Hanson. But I see what you see, and it's wrong. LOL! :D

Thank you, Don. Tell Kyle to quit pickin' and grinnin' on his guitar, and get signed up so he can get peckin' and postin' here. ;)

Nicely accomplished.

Jon, Happy Birthday!

Coop, very nice image!

Salem, I love the bump & dip in the top of the handle, but can see a shorter ricasso working.

Steven, inch longer blade would be cool. There will be lot of carbon steel full tangs coming out of this shop. Yours will be blued. :)

Ken, what Coop said.

Thanks guys!
