Hey all you knife people. I have a redone version of a knife I posted a while back to show you. . Due to popular demand the knife no longer has funky finger guards. Jack O'Neill suggested I remove them and Paul at cpeknives@gmail.com sent me a list of other ways to make the knife better. This knife community has a lot of generous talented people that help me get better. This batch of blades is my best so far and i am excited to show them to you. Both of these are full tang slicers. Each has a little tang taper. I hope you like them. Sorry the pics are mixed.

Knife one
Handle: ironwood hand sanded to 1000 grit and copiously anointed with danish oil natural color.
Steel: 5/32" 8670 heat treated to 60rc in the Paul Bos shop.
Constructed with brass pins. vulcanized fiber liners, and west systems epoxy
Specs: Oal 10.25" blade 5" flat grind
Knife two
Handle: vintage natural linen micarta
Steel: 8670 5/32" heat treated to 60rc in the Paul Bos shop
Constructed with brass pins, vulcanized fiber liners, and west systems epoxy
Specs: OAL 10 ". Blade 5" flat grind

Both knives come with a custom kydex sheath equipped with a very effective belt clip, and are tek lok compatible as well.

All my knives have a lifetime warranty. If it fails in normal service I will replace or repair it. My email is goslaughter@outlook.com. That is how to access my PayPal as well. Money orders are also welcomed as are personal checks held to clear. Questions,comments,advice and other messages are welcome.

Knife two with linen micarta $ 110 with postage and ins. included in conusIMG_20221219_175736_124.jpgIMG_20230203_174408_913~2.jpgIMG_20230203_174020_708~2.jpgIMG_20230203_174321_605.jpgIMG_20221219_175202_708.jpgIMG_20221219_180134_588.jpgIMG_20221219_174732_186.jpgIMG_20230203_174501_468~2.jpgIMG_20230203_174924_2~2.jpgIMG_20221219_165441_063.jpg

Hey all you knife people. I am proud to offer you the first two knives from my recent batch of twenty just back from heat treatment. I am not schooled in Japanese blade arts in any way. I es is just saw the opportunity for a cheap laugh as usual. This batch of blades is and am pleased to show them to you. Both are full tang

Pics?
 
Haha. Love the title Grady. These look really nice and and extra slicey. Your skills are really improving and can’t wait to see what else comes out of your shop.

BTW, for anyone debating, you can buy with confidence. I bought one of Grady’s earlier wharnies, and i love it.
 
I like the top one with the smooth transition myself, and your ceramic props are likely your work as well? Very nice.
 
Hey everybody, thank you for the kind comments regarding my knives and pointing out things to help me like putting the pictures on.

Yes, I started making wheel-thrown stoneware in '74 and am pleased to hear you like it. Thank you.
