Ray doesn't get much mention in this subforum, but he does very good work, especially for someone who has been making knives for only a few years. I just had him make a pair of Kepharts for me, with desert ironwood and macassar ebony scales. Both are 1/8" O1.

Ray's work is outstanding:thumbup: He's got an amazing eye for proportions and for F&F-I've never seen anything of his look less than amazing!
 
I'll second (or third) that. I have seen pictures before, and they look really nice, but they don't do justice to seeing the real thing.

They are very nicely made (understatement here). If you are sitting on the fence about having Ray make something for you, sit no longer. You will be pleased.

The top one in the picture was waiting in my mailbox when I got home today - a very nice surprise. It sure pays to have a brother who lives near Ray and who also likes sharp things.
 
Ray does beautiful stuff. His Nessmuk I have is great. Enjoy those beauties.
 
Those do look great! :thumbup:

Ray's been on my "short list" for awhile now.
Unfortunately, my bank account is even shorter than my list. :o
 
Yep,he does some clean work! And Sharp,too!!
Nice ones lambertiana,congrats!

that is a very nice bushcraft knife, and Artfully designed. Lots of very nice, subtle curves there.

It would be interesting to see that exact design with a framed handle, a metal hilt with contrasting spacers and a stainless laminated forged blade:)

This knife was inspired by the Colclesser/ Kephart knife. It wouldn't be the same with a framed handle and metal hilt, etc. It might be nice though.:)
