Hello folks I read Nicks post in shoptalk and did not know this sub forum was here , so I would like to introduce myself. I have made knives for 27 years now.
Last 15 have been devoted to mostly folders. But I do make some Bird @ Trout knives. I live in Louisiana and glad to see this forum is here. Here are a few pictures of my work hope you like , and please excuse the photo quality.

Thanks for coming over and introducing yourself. I like the micarta piece best.

What is the handle material on the first 2 pieces? Armadillo?

Very nice clean work Glenn. That green bone really appeals to me. It's a shade of green you don't often see.

PS: you should add a link to your websight in the sig. line.
Best
Dave

Welcome Glenn - happy to have you here. Thanks for stopping in to show us your work. I quite like the wood-handled number, in particular.

Hi Glenn. Thanks for posting. I really like that micarta slipjoint. :thumbup: I'm looking forward to seeing you post more of your work.

Very clean work Glenn.
I'm also wondering about the scale material on the first two.
Looks a bit the Armadillo with the outer scale removed.
May be wrong though.
Welcome to you sir and hope we see more of your work.

Welcome Glenn! Nice looking knives there. I'm curious what the scales are on the first one too.

 

[Jon Brand]

is that armadillo?

 

[heatride]

Thanks all and yes its armadillo , I have to give credit to my buddy Todd Davison for introducing me to the armadillo handle material. Thanks again for the very warm welcome

Howdy Glenn,
Welcome!
I''ll just echo the other guys sentiments and thank you for posting the fine examples of your work.
I like the wood and micarta pieces best but they're all very nice.
Looking forward to seeing more of your knives. :thumbup:
