Nice accumulation there, Mike! I'm a big fan of small fixed blades too.I'm still a big fan of the little ones
Here's a quick shot of what I have lying around.
Thanks Gary. You sure have some beauties on the the table there!

I recently picked up this Western L36 from the late '50s to the mid '60s, complete with it's original sheath. A very well balanced large hunter.

This is a Russell Green River Works high carbon 5"blade, 9-1/8" oal. I purchased the blade online and installed the handle using some well seasoned black locust I'd cut 7 yrs ago. I wood burned in the handle designs, rubbed black leather dye
into the wood to highlight the woodgrain and heated in beeswax for a finish. I have absolutely no metal working skills so this was a fun way to put together a knife myself without having to make the actual blade.
Should make a good camp knife though. Thanks for looking.

I'm thinking of getting a couple more of these blades to handle with other woods I have around.
That's a fine looking knife, Jake! Congrats!Karl Andersen (Andersen Forge) just finished this one for me. Random damascus, hot blued guard, stainless spacer, and stabilized Missouri black walnut. 4-7/8” blade, 9-3/4” OAL.

Just for fun, more beginner knife handle work.
I ordered a couple more Green River Works blades and installed wood handles, one in osage and the other in black locust. I used green and brown dyes on the locust and left the osage natural other than a diluted chocolate dye rubbed in and then removed just to highlight the grain. Wood burned in the designs on both and finished with beeswax and shellac. Gonna gift 'em to a couple good friends when we meet up to camp this spring. Thanks for looking.

I just got these project knives in today. ( eBay sellers picture )
Not sure what I'll do with the bottom one because it's just a cheap Japanese import and I'm sceptical of it's quality.
The top is a Solingen cutlery, and the middle is a ubiquitous Imperial H6.
Here's what I did with the top knife.

Here's the imperial H6, it's still a work in progress but I'm really liking it so far.
I misplaced my other H6 a while back, but I think I'll probably like this one more anyways.
