I've been feeling rather......ummmm, blue lately for a variety of reasons. This batch represents the last knives I'll be making for quite a while as I just had multi-level spinal fusion surgery a few days ago. My wife is posting this for me. I recently finished this set of four hunters destined for display/sale at Escape Outdoors in North Sydney, N.S. http://www.escapeoutdoors.ca/
I'd love to get your comments.

Here's a few details:
Blade(s): 5" of Aldo's 1095, flat ground and hand sanded to 800 grit. The blades have been etched and polished to highlight the hamon.
Handle(s): Tiger-striped Red Maple, Bird's Eye Red Maple, Quilted Red Maple, and Indian Rosewood - all with Bubinga liners, two peened 3/16" brass pins, hidden lanyard holes, and a buffed Tung oil finish(except the Rosewood which has a natural polished finish). The Moose hide lanyards have hand-turned beads from the same handle woods.
Sheaths: 6-7 oz veg tanned leather(RJF), hand stitched with polished natural edges and a buffed mink oil finish.
... and a few photos. (these are not the greatest shots as I don't have the patients to do a full-on beauty treatment)
