Single edge bolstered boot knives

[navman]

I don't make many bolster knives, these are numbers 2 and 3. Dovetailed 416 stainless bolsters pinned and peened on to tapered tangs. Blades are S90V hollow ground with rounded spines, hand sanded to 600 grit satin. Crosscut black canvas and red liners on one and "sage" green canvas with red and natural liners on the other. The sage green one features a stainless/CF EDM pin depicting the Tree of Life. Handmade leather belt sheaths (I know, belt not boot.)

Very Nice! I really like the Mosaic pin. Tree of Life?

 

[navman]

Yep. The tree of life has meaning in almost every religion or belief system.

Exceptional as usual

[SharpBits]

Classy is also the adjective I used when I saw these. Very nice!

Currently for sale?

 

[navman]

Both are spoken for. But not to fear...there will be more bolsters!

Wow, that's is some amazing work! I can't get over how well done the handles are. The tree of life just puts it over the top for me. Looking forward to seeing some of these for sale in the future!

Here is a spoiler of one that will have to wait for finishing. Heading out of town for a week.

Nessmuk Skinner in S90V and Desert ironwood, steel bolsters. Still shaping the handle.

I like that you mitered the scales to the bolster! John
