Hi All.

Thought I would put these up for comments. Double edge super sharp. Made from 154-CM triple tempered to a solid Rockwell 59. Hollow grind on a 5 inch wheel. Very high satin finish on the blades. The scales are a gloss black canvas Micarta but still grippy. Tomorrow they will have Kydex sheaths that fit comfortably in the small of your back. They work very well as a hold out knife. I wear one with my "t" shirt out and no one ever knows I have it on me. Comments always welcome.

Thanks for looking

Ken

I'm 99% sure you're right handed.

That little sad face is your mark? :( Say it ain't so!
 
I am right handed but the sheaths work both ways. Happy holidays, Ken yes the sad face (actually its a broken mill bit) Anything I can helpyou with?

I don't wish anyone a little sad face for their maker's mark. I'd be wishing to see a happy face! :)

I was taught long ago that by inspecting the grinds on a knife you can see when a maker is more comfortable grinding on one side than another.

This looks like a good utility knife. I'm all set, but I honor your reaching forward.

Best,

Jim
 
Hi,

You sound like a man with a lot of incite. The mark as I see it is a golden retriever the two dots below it are its legs. Sort of like the legs you see in a Road Runner cartoon. These days i am getting $100 for the knife and sheath plus $7.50 for priority shipping. I am self taught and I use a KMG machine for most of the work. The daggers are done on a 6" wheel. I am about to purchase a 3" wheel so the hollow grind will be more pronounced. I appreciate your input its how I learn. Hope your holidays are going well. I have two more that will be finished in a few days. One with black canvas Micarta the other with red linen micarta or perhaps wood, I have a large assortment. If you have any interest or just comments please get back to me. I appreciate the correspondence.

Best Regards
Kenneth Hills
 
Not a sad face its actually half a mill bit that broke. If its a really good impression then it looks like a dog with roadrunner cartoon feet. I always try to reuse things. This year on the list is a real stamp. Thanks, Ken
