Here are a few pieces I've been working on. Obviously I haven't been working on my photography :). Please excuse the typo in the title...too much coffee, not enough sleep.

The first piece is an 8.25" Sapling Cutter for a forum member. The blade is forged from 1095, 2.35" width, .37" at the spine. 416SS guard, maple handle. I hope you like it Marcus!

I can't remember if I posted a pic of this piece or not (I must be getting old :)).

Thanks for looking gents!

Well, you have pretty much conquered the most troublesome element of the knife--the handle. Wrapping hands around those curves could unleash unbridled sensuality and take the libido where its never been.

Can't find any flies on the steel either, which means these are an exception group of knives.

Double guards, single guards, no guards--all look grand and something for everyone.

They are all very nice. I like the big clip on the first really stands out and looks great
 
The 8.25 incher was suppsosed to mine,but I screwed Up.The Good thing is it didn't turn out the way I it wanted too.It doen't look enough like like the Sapling Cutter 2.0.That's not to say it isn't a Damn Nice Knife.So Thanks Matt, you saved me some cash.

I think those first ones are stunning. All are beauful. Love the way you work the goreous wood into the handle.
 
Very nice line-up my friend. The guardless models in particular seem to be calling to me.

Outstanding knives! +1 on the great handles... I wanna hold one just by the look of the handles
 
That antique canvas really looks good. I love the blade shapeand they do look very powerful.
