Navman Appreciation - Photo Thread

[MarbReds]

I actually retired from the Navy 3 years ago. Was working as a defense contractor. Life has caused me to move on...so...full time knifemaker!

And yep I will be at Blade again. No table just walking around.

Good deal, see you in the pit.

Here are two of my favorites:

We're gonna need a SCIF in the sub-forum once established.

Here are two I am finishing this week. Pocket fixies/B&T's in hollow ground 3/32" CPM S90V. 3 inch blades, thin handles, pocket clip sheaths. The stitching matches the liners on the green linen micarta. Brass pins and a brass "sakura" pin on each.

Razor sharp (duh) with tapered tangs. Used the blue one to peel some orange rind for my old fashioned (Elijah Craig Rye, for those that must know.)

 

[Blues]

I've got Barrel Proof and Small Batch, but they're Elijah Craig bourbon. Gotta try the rye I guess.

On topic: nice pieces. Especially liking the "thin blue line".

 

[navman]

These were fun to make, might do a few Tenebrous hunters with these in a duo sheath or something in the future...

navman do you want to move this thread into your new forum, or do you want to start some new threads there and leave this one as-is?

 

[Blues]

If we leave this one here, it serves two purposes.

It will keep Josh's name and work out front in the General Forum, and it won't import some of the off-topic stuff into the new sub-forum.

But that's just a thought.

Well, that should squash the rumors.

 

[navman]

Lol.

Could you please leave this thread here? That way new and old members can see it.

I don't venture into all the subforums on a regular basis. New members probably won't know where to look.

Keeping this thread open in General, is a good thing. That way we all get to see his work, old and new.

I see a trend...

Makes sense to me, whatever helps spread the word far and wide.

 

[jfk1110]

AGREED...........Keep it here.

 

[Blues]

It's staying here...no worries.
