all very nice, but i especially like the quillion dagger and Ka-Bar style knife! the ironwood handle on the dagger came out beautifully, and the blade grinds look perfect! as for the military style combat knife, it looks like its ready for anything you can throw at it! i like it!
 
That military-style knife is AWESOME!

I especially like the traditional military-style sheath -- compliments the blade very well.
 
Sir,

None of these are my style. I would not own one - and would almost feel bad if I were given one due to its lack of use.

However, the presentation, work, craftsmanship, and thought that went into not only the blades but the leather is top notch. Very, Very nice work!

EDIT:

I take that back. I would use the Chopper in G-10.

Hell yes I would... ;)

The Adirondack Hunter is incredible. I hadn't seen that style of Damascus before and I must say I like it. :thumbup:
 
Awesome work....I especially like the Fixed-blade Pocket Knife in damascus and African Blackwood.. what is the blade length?? :thumbup::thumbup:
 
I like them all! If I had to pick just one I'd go with the dagger! Your leather work is outstanding as well. I need to learn to do the rolled edge thing, I think it really adds to the sheath.

Thanks guys. The blade length on that pocket-knife is 3 1/2".

Also, the credit for the sheath work belongs to Paul Long of Kerrville, TX. He's a bit of a jerk in real life but, is a master when it comes to sheaths.
;)
 
Those are all fantastic J! Most mastersmiths I have talked to say they hated making the dagger and would never make another, so you must be a glutton for punishment:D
 
I'm with Keith and gang, I like them all!!! Excellent craftsmanship, creative designs, balanced forms and lines, tasteful material selections, innovative textual elements, etc, etc... Well done, thanks for sharing!
 
Yea but Paul is a nice jerk. :p

Great looking knives J.
The wife really likes the trinity fighter.

Guys J's knives are the best bang for the buck out there.

If I wasn't just laid off that pocket knife would be mine. :(
 
Nice to see you (and your knives ;)) around here again J!
It just keeps getting better and better. :thumbup:
