Thanks Gary , means a lot to me my friend.

 

[lambertiana]

That is really nice work. And the tapered tang is a nice touch.

 

[jujigatame]

Your stuff keeps getting better and better John. Definitely an honest knife for a working man.

 

[John T Wylie Jr]

Thanks bud , the kind words are appreciated.

Anyone coming to the Vegas show in January ?

John,

Very very clean work! Still waiting to see your efforts when it comes to slips! :thumbup: With work like you do I bet you will make a clean slip if and when you put your mind to it.

Happy Holidays to you and your family!

[John T Wylie Jr]

Thanks Ken , that means a lot. I am working on the slip joints , evertime I think I am getting close I pull out that 3.5 EDC from my pocket...scratch my head , toss my attempt in the bucket , mumble a bit , and start the next attempt.

I am taking my time , no need to rush , I already own the " purfect slip "

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you.

Nice, clean work here. Those tappered tangs are a feast for the eye.

 

[John T Wylie Jr]

finally got around to getting these logo'd , sheathed and sharpened.
The modified Loveless will be picked up tomorrow by its new owner , and the bead blasted S30v will be picked up by its new owner as well.

dont mind the picts , it was dark when I finished.

Looking forward to the day when I have a HT oven , so I can have all operations done in my shop , HT is the only thing I farm out.

I thought out in Vegas you could wrap them in foil and then lay them on the sidewalk, at least in the summer months.

 

[John T Wylie Jr]

Only with 1095 bud...

 

[Win Heger]

Those are lookin' good, John. See you in a couple of weeks!

 

[John T Wylie Jr]

Looking forward to it Win , I may even have something on hand and finished to have you critique again

 

[Trace Rinaldi]

I was in Vegas over the weekend and John came to the hotel to hang out with us for a while. He brought that knife with the light brown sheath to show me. That thing is clean as a whistle, and the sheath is top notch.:thumbup: John about gives his work away, so whoever gets that knife is gonna be scoring BIG time.

Good seeing you dude, and thanks for coming over Sat...

 

[sunnyd]

John,

Your markings and sheaths came out beautifully just like the knives themselves.

I need to contact you, please.

Is it OK if I email you?

Anthony

 

[John T Wylie Jr]
