I've been working on a lot of little projects in between the Ancient Weapons work and Buddhist ken (a short, double edged sword) in preparation for the Wisconsin Fall Knife Show.
The first isn't actually for the show... it was a commission. I've been doing a lot of these skinners lately but I wanted to show this one because of my first attempt at a frame handle. I really enjoyed this and will be doing a lot more.
The second is a forged utility knife with blade inspired by Persian fighters made from a Nicholson file. The finger grooves are forged in and are very comfortable. Comes with a horizontal sheath.
The third was a blast to make... a fire starter kit in a belt pouch/wallet. Comes with a dashi style blade for cutting kindling, a striker forged from Nicholson file (throws a shower of sparks), flint and tinder.
The fourth... a small hunter from 1/8" 1084, wrought iron guard and curly hickory handle...
Last and least... another kiridashi...
