Just got around to getting all of these pictures together and thought I'd share some newer things I've been making.

These first two are variations on some that I had done before,
but I wanted to see how stone washing the blades would look.
I think they turned out pretty cool.

Both are 1084 with copper handles, stainless pins and bronze washers.
6 11/16" open and 4 3/8" closed (including flipper).















I've also been making a lot of neck knives.

These two are stone washed 1084.

The first one is 5" OAL with a blade just over 2" and a little under 1/8" thick.
I've also made some that are 4 1/4" OAL that I've been carrying as a pocket knife recently.

The second one is what I'm calling my "BottleNeks".
This one is 4 5/8" OAL, and the bottle opener is meant to be used when the knife is in the kydex sheath.
I also have a version that is an inch longer.











And these last two are the same as the others but in damascus and a little thinner.
The damascus I made for these is from 1084 and 15n20.

5" OAL






4 1/4" OAL




Thanks for looking. Let me know what you all think.

Nice knives Shelby.
I am fond of the different textures you are using especially on the copper.
Thank you for posting these photos. I enjoyed seeing them.
 
Love your take on the higo, especially the first one.

As others have already mentioned, the texture work is fantastic. Not an easy task to lay it on that heavy while retaining a clean overall look.
