I have been making knives for several years now and so far the only people that have one are people that are with me on Christmas day. I have been ashamed of the quality of my knives compared to what I see here so for years now my stuff goes in the trash or junk drawer. I need to stop that and just face the fact I cant make a perfect knife and try and sell them and hopefully I can get good with more practice. SO if you want a knife that is not perfect check these out and hopefully I can sell a few and buy some more sandpaper.

Money back if you are not happy.

All of these knives are 1095 steel heat treated at peters, wooden handles were stabilized by K&G, I use acraglass epoxy, and my leather sheaths are hand sewn.

Knife 1- sycamore drop point 120.00 shipped
7 1/2 overall 3 1/2 blade past handle approx 3 1/8 cutting edge

IMPORTANT- I will be away from email for 7-10 days "depending on weather"- starting friday afternoon, if there are any issues I will take care of you as soon as I return. I cant promise you will like the knife but I do promise I will do my best to make sure you are satisfied.

If the knives dont sell in this listing I will put them in my online store. I plan on going live with that after labor day. Thanks for looking Britt

Your knives look very good, keep up the good work.:thumbup:
 
Thanks Scott. I am good at working with wood but working with metal has been a whole new experience
 
Hey Zieg I just added them , if you dont see them try and reload your page. Thanks

I am close to Kerr lake near the VA border
 
I have gotten knives from or seen in person some of the best knife makers in America and I can tell you there are no perfect knives. Even knives from professional knife companies like Benchmade have issues. We all chase perfection but there should be no shame in a handmade piece of functional art. That is what I see here. Imperfections in a handmade knife is character. No two are alike! Keep up the good work and Never be ashamed of product of blood sweat and tears. Always be proud of an honest day's work!

At that price, all i look for in a handmade knife is a sharp edge. They look like great users :)

Very nice, quality work at a good price, something to be proud of. Spalted, so are you in the area of Lake Gaston? I think Kerr is in the other side of the dam. Got relatives near Bracey, Va, off 85.
 
The maple burl and sycamore drop points are .140 the spalted drop point ended up .130 and the nessmuk .09

Lake gaston is on the other side of the dam.

Thanks for the comments.
