Here's mine - made it a while ago. I like carrying it from time to time; I appreciate the bottle opener ;)

WOW! Love it! I really dig the bottle-opener and finger-choil elements! Tell me, do you still make any? Very interested... :thumbup:

I wish! The weekends are about the only time I get to make knives! I have a desk job during the week.

Second attempt

(top one above, inspiration is a Burger HP model)

Donated the second one to someone that needed a knife more then me. The first one is still in use and has gone through some changes.

I have some other plans, but do not have the funds to go through with it. Will post one day when I have finished making it, but it will be a large, great user knife.

Thanks guys. The warncliff blade is really helpful in the garage and the knife does everything I dont want to use any other knife for, be it an old SAK or a CRK. It was made from a machete so it uses 1055 carbon.

Here are some updated pictures.

I made two slits in the G10 and put some GITD epoxy in there for seeing the knife in the dark

I am considering putting a pocket clip on there, but dont know if I want to use an old M-16 CRKT pocket clip, or rather wait a while till funds allow and put a new one on there.

The other knives posted look awesome and they are real inspirational!

That's seen some use for sure!! Awesome!!
 
Here's one I just finished up for a customer. He requested a Nesmuck style profile and supplied a drawing of what he had in mind. Blade profile was kept true to the drawing and I made the handle to work with it. This is a big one! A 4" blade at the least.
