Bill Akers (backwoods forge)....large knife is stabilised sunflower husks and lower one is snakewood sycamore.......FES

Really great looking stuff, FES! They seem to really right in the woods and field. I like the top one a bit more, the bladeshape and especially the handle material look great. The mosaic-pin on the botton knife is a real eyecatcher, for sure.

Congratz to that both

Kind regards
Andi

Nicely ground and most everyone likes 1095; those should get the job done!
