All Knives are Chisel Ground Left/Right from 01 toolsteel, heat treated and sharpened by Wally Hayes..
A special Thanks to Wally for the Inspiration and encouragement...

We heat treated some 40 of my knives in two different Heat Treating sessions,,

Whatcha think ??

Thanks

They look good. Who made the neat little sheaths? :D :p

The last two pictures don't show up for me. I tried the URLs in a separate window and that didn't work, either.
 
Hey Esav..

Thank you very much...

LOL about the sheaths...

Gonna have to find someone to do them for me.. :)

Fixed the bottom two pics,, spelling errors...

Thanks much...

I like knives that you can always have your person. So are are any or these going to be Christmas gifts. I know I would be excited to get a fun handmade knife for Christmas.

Hey Guys...

Thanks Very much...

Troop..

I doubt I'll HT the next batch..
I've got to hang around Wally a little more.. I may do it with his supervision, but need his forge until we get our new ones up and running

Sam...

The small Key-ridashis will be about $30 The larger ones about $50 including custom fit sheaths..

I may have a couple after Christmas for sale, have to see what I have left..

Thanks for the Encouragement Guys..

Jimi,, may be around tomorrow evening..

When you said that you were burning your fingers while grinding I thought you were grinding full size knives.

Nice little pieces, going to have to try something like that after New Years.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you.

Nice stuff Eric :thumbup: :thumbup: You're very lucky to have a mentor like Wally Hayes, I wish I could be so lucky :) Keep up the great work bud :thumbup:
 
Very nice Eric!!! Its been really cool watching you get started here!!! Keep posting pics for us bro!!!
 
Damn Bro,

You've been busy :) Making knives and sheaths, you're gonna be even busier than usual ;) Congratulations, they look awesome. Now the 50,000$ question, where can we buy one?
 
I like them, I have been inspired on this site to make a few of my own knives. I am in the process of trying to get some steel I can afford. I am planning on trying to do a few stock removal with files.

Thanks for posting these to inspire the rest of us to try.
