I purchased these 3 as blanks from Bill. Finished them with handles myself and will be using them as my semi-daily use (when I wanna be flashy!). Walnut, Bloodwood, Ash.
I liked them so much that I purchased a couple more. Awesome blades.

Thanks! Now I gotta find some time to make myself some sheaths!

Thanks again to you Bill .. fine workmanship sir.
 
I finished up another Backwoods DIY blade blank I purchased from Bill. This is my current favorite. Great balance and purposely built.

Thanks 1066vik. This is my first try at using 2 woods on one handle. Still gotta give props to Bill for the blade. It's a keeper.

Made a sheath for it. First time I tried a dangler option and colored lacing. I think it turned out nice.

Thanks guys! I really enjoy creating my own. Makes the connection to the knife that much stronger. I gave the walnut handled 'duplex' to my cousin. I still need to make sheaths for the other two.

This is the same Bloodwood camper pictured above - I polished up the wood a bit more and paired it with a Bloodwood handled Hawk.

The Walnut handled Duplex - same as the one from above. Finished with sheath. Early christmas gift for my cousin.
