Redmeadow pics that need a home

I love the simple beauty and utility of this knife John. The darker as forged ricasso highlights the contrast against the satin grind and conveys “handmade” to those who know.

I agree with Dave Horsewright Horsewright that it would make a nice steak and/or paring knife in addition to EDC tasks. I appreciate the simple handle shape with facets for good indexing. The resulting open and maneuverable handle shape is why I enjoy using my Kephart as a go-to multi-purpose tool. It just works. If you made more of these, I agree that a touch more height (and possibly flare) on the back end of the handle might be a nice evolution of your design.

Thanks for sharing this with us. Based on all the above nice comments, you need to make more. 👍

The epitome of the term less is more. I like a small knife that size, but often the handle is too small or not long enough for a good grip, it is nice to know that more thought went into the handle design to make it more useful and comfortable, often a neglected aspect to a small knife. That and how to carry it. Let us know if you use it and how you like it. What is the steel again?
 
What are the specs on the blade and handle? Very nice. And the smaller one with the straight back is just right size for a stocking stuffer.

5" Tip to Ricasso

The small one is 1095. If I do more I'll be using 52100, I have some 1/8" on the way. This one started as 1/8 barstock and forged down to around .1 at the ricasso and then tapers down to the tip.
Just take my money!!!

We'll see sales soon ladies and gentleman.
 
So I call Brown with tan leather "The Big Country". Finished this one the other day.

Should I call the Black leather with Red thread "Red River" or "Curly Bill"?

That's one I did for one of our own a while back. Had a request for another one last week, finishing it up now.

Thanks for that Jared. I wear mine daily and would be lost without it. I think it'd hold it's own against the best belts out there. I've made some tweaks here and there and think I have a good design down now.
 
Random forging. A delicate little thing I forged as a kids knife, my boy wanted to forge his cousin a knife and I thought I'd fool around with a design. I have some blue glow in the dark scales for it. Will be a fun little project.
