While setting up to take pics of the Hultafors, and the Ironwolf, I just gathered up some other stuff in the shop and got that on there too. Wanna see???

You can see my modded Bravo-1 (no annoying thumb ramp). An old hammer that I found on the family farm over Thanksgiving. An Alan Blade scandi, a Jay Neilson, Dan Koster (the sheath underneath the customs is one I'm making for my Koster Nessmuk), GL Drew, NWA forum knife, two blades by Scott Gossman, the Ironwolf BF blade blank, a few of my own blanks (unground), and one of my own Bushcrafters.

Also in the pic is a Nessmuk blade that I just chiseled the handle off of. I scunted the handle with the belt grinder while finishing the back edge. Doh.

And a pic of half of my shop considerably dirtier than before...

WOW, I wouldn't know where to start; they are all beauties!:thumbup::cool:
 
Sweet. Thats how I feel when you take pics, so eat your heart out.
 
like the others, I am in awe of you shop. It looks fantastic and makes me want to clean out my garage. I have always loved your work and if I only had more cash, I would gladly take one of your fine nessmuk's off of your hands. How long have you been making blades?
 
did you grind off the thumb ramp yourself on the bravo 1? looks good from the pic. ANy regrets on doing that? I have a bravo 1 on the way. So now im worried that i won't like the thumb ramp.

I don't mind the thumb ramp at all, in fact I really like it.

That is a Bark River Bravo-1 with the thumb ramp ground off. I'm not big on thumb ramps.

Thanks! Thats only half the shop. The woodworking machines are behind me. This pic shows some of it. It leaves off the planer, jointer, large scroll saw, anvil area and the new chop saw bench.

I don't have any regrets, but I have the equipment to blend it in with the rest of the knife. Some guys love thumb ramps, and it was requested in the design. For me, they just get in the way and destroy the sheath.
