Morgan Valley Camp knife

DAMN Nick! that's absolutely beautiful. That temper line is awesome. NICE NICE NICE, what more can I say. :D BTW, I've got an anvil. Getting my forging equipment a little at a time. Pretty soon the ringing sound of the anvil will be singing across northern Maryland. :D

Here's a shot of the block fit and the pins in place-

The block in place, prior to shaping-

Sometimes, if I'm not real sure about the handle shape... as far as how it will both look and feel, I'll do a mock-up with a piece of scrap wood-

And here it is rough shaped and ready for finishing work-

I was so focused on getting ready for Atlanta, I quit taking pictures after that one.

Also, as you can see, I'm not one of those guys that "let's the knife just speak for itself" I suppose it's the engineer in me, but I like to have an idea of where I'm going before I start... hence the drawing in the background of some of these shots.

Thanks guys, :)

Simply AMAZING work, Nick!

:thumbup:

It looks like it simply couldn't have been done any other way.
Gorgeous hamon!

Unfortunately I don't have time right now to reload all the pics, sorry :(
