I love making these Loveless Style Knives and hope to be good at it someday.

I hope everyone enjoys the photos and thanks again for looking at my work, you are much appreciated!!
 
Fit and finish look great, they appear to not have a final edge put on them
was that at the request of the buyer for his younger sons?

I leave them unsharpened until I get ready to ship them out as I usually end up cutting myself if I am photographing or handling them. They were sharpened before I boxed them up to ship.
 
Figured that must have been it, certainly easier to work the sheaths for them
without the edge sharpened, but I have heard some guys buy knives unsharpened
and sharpen them later when the kid is older, safety precaution I suppose!
Thanks,

Gary, that is a great idea. :)

Somewhat like having your child handle a gun afield unloaded for awhile, until you are very comfortable with their safety habits.
 
Thanks Add and yep, something along that line would be a smart thing.
I could use a dulling on my balisong at times :)
