Let's see those customs from Mitchell Knives!

[376]

Let's post some pics of Johnathan work. I'll post the ones I have to start it off. Sorry for the low quality pics!

First off are a pair of his Wakizashi, both in 1/4 A2 and with his Rorschach Finish. One with a guard and one without.

Next are his Vertigo (1/4 A2) and XL Soothsayer (1/8 1095 I think) both with Rorschach Finish and an Intruder (1/8 1095 I think)

Lastly, are some of his Neck knives. First one is a Titanium Wharnnie, 2nd is Toge (1/4 A2), 3rd was a gift from Johnathan with No Name (0.06" CPM 154 I think) and 4th is a Titanium Done.

Wow!

That's quite a collection you have there!

Thanks for the support Mark!

Funny that you should post the wakizashi pics; I was just thinking about making another one for my next "big project".

Johnathan---I appreciate the opportunity to own some of your blades, Thanks! Another Waki would be sweet, what do you have in mind? One with a hamon would be killer IMO.

By the way, sorry I can't spell obviously...and my QC sux. Editing the title of this thread eludes me so I don't know how to correct the spelling.

Thanks Mark! I'm glad that you enjoy them so much! (Sent you an email about your order)

I'm probably going to do a few double ground wakizashi with a kissaki tip. I cut out a few extra blades when I was making your set. They are 5160 IIRC.

I have some ideas floating around for different versions.

I'm thinking that an "ultra light" (maybe 1/8" stock A2) version would be an absolutely devastating cutter! Working on your recurves has me in lightweight knife mode at the moment.

I've also been considering a more modern wakizashi design, possibly a lightweight recurve. (Think your recurve in wakizashi form!)

I'd like to do a fully traditional version, but I'm afraid that would be a bit over my head at the moment as I'm not familiar with making traditional scabbards, etc.

Johnathan-- They all sound great!! I'm sure whatever you come up with, it's going to be sweet. I do think you should give a traditional version a go when you get the itch. I would love to see that one! Heck, make 'em all, I'm a sucker for wakizashi.

BTW I responded to your email. Thanks!

Sloth357---Thank you Sir! As you can see, Johnathan's work is addictive! I appreciate the compliment on the Vertigo, it's a tank. It usually rides on a drop leg rig. Tough blade.

Nice collection Mark!! I only have 1 from Johnathan but I'm working on getting a few more though

Thanks Deputy! Post pics of your knife when you can, I'd like to see some more of Johnathan's work.
