Here is my newest batch of knives. I will describe each knife by its picture...all of these knives minus one is for sale. Please let me know if you are interested. My Email is: Knifemaker87@gmail.com
Thanks for looking!

Blake's Skinner
This knife was made for a friend who needed a good knife that would stand up to abuse and stay sharp but not be to expensive. Lucky for him, it was free.

this knife was cut from a file that was differentially tempered. the handle is leather and virgin vinyl; it turned out pretty well. it stays clean and takes abuse like nothing else

Cedar Drop Point
This knife was cut from a piece of 1075 carbon spring steel. The handle is Cedar heart. The blade is convex ground to a zero edge. It is sharp and stays sharp

Tac Tanto
This knife was cut from the same steel as the knife above and has the same type of wood handle.

This is a very comfortable knife to hold in several positions and has a very slim profile so it would work great as a boot knife. it also has a slightly down-curving cutting edge.

Osage Trader
This knife was also a differentially treated file. The handle is made from osage orange wood which is REALLY dense and hard. The handle is almost cilindrical making it very comforable to hold. I hollow ground blade.

It has a full tang with a tapering thickness. It is a very solid knife with cedar- heart scales.

Hey Knifemaker 87. First off welcome to the forums, those are all beautiful knives, I especially like Blake's Skinner. Regarding selling them you may want to subscibe here and list them over in the for sale by makers forum. Otherwise your posts may get deleted if the mods see it as advertising. Not trying to be a pain, just a heads up. Once again though, welcome, those are some great knives.
