Here are some pictures of a couple of Chuck's knives.The first is his first piece of Damascus that he forged in my shop,the second is a couple of small skinners that he ground from L-6 steel and handled with Cocobolo and added Brass guard-pin-and escussion plate.
He Doesn't think that they are worthy of posting as he thinks he is still to much of a begginer,HA-HA,He has been stockremoval for a few years now.
And for those guys that look at others shop and think they need all the fancy equipment,guess what ? These were ground on a 6 inch cone lock wheel powered by a washing machine motor, using scrap grinding belts that he salvages from a local factory and splits and cuts to length himself.He just bought a grizzly grinder for Christmas but hasn't set it up yet.His shop is basicaly all hand tools from there.
Lets please give him some kind words of encouragement here,Thanks.

Take care!! Michael

Always think of your fellow knife makers as partners in the search for the perfect blade, not as people trying to compete with you and your work!
