Here they are:

1) A.T.Barr blade blank I call "Li'l Hunter". It has ATS-34 blade, very thick "Oak" Pakkawood handles (never used laminates before, but they came out nicer than I expected!), brass pins and a homemade mosaic pin. Due to the thickness of the scales i could really contour them for a lot of comfort.

2) REKAT Carnivore that I fileworked and did some other stuff to...there are tons of more pics of this on my webpage toward the bottom of the navigation bar...

3) Oops...I forgot one! This is one of the tantos Neil and I worked on together. Green linen Micarta handles with ivory paper Micarta bolsters. stainless steel pins and my own homemade mosaic pin...I'm not sure what I think of this one. Input, anyone?

Nice looking blades - must have taken a long time to do that folder.
On the tanto I'd use brass/nickelsilver or something black for the bolster - horn or micarta, but thats just me, and I like it the way it is too.
 
Nice work Chiro

I really like the li'l hunter. It has that warm 'old friend' look to it. Do you not put you mark on your knives?

Rob!
 
Rob, all these knives are ones that were made by other makers. I buy the blades and finish them myself. So, no mark. The closest thing I have to my own mark is a fileworked "A" in the spine of my Madpoet kit knives. Those were custom knives that Madpoet made to my design, so he put my mark on them:

I have mad eone knife all on my own, and it is a funky, ugly piece of crap. I took pics but apparently didn't upload them. I will have to try again. Keep your eyes peeled and get ready for a good laugh! I didn't heat treat it myself, but the rest I did with files and other rudimentary tools. I should have a pic up within the next couple days...
