THANKS "brand" Fixed Blade Collection

[Crag the Brewer]

Coolio, I think 8670 would be a good user to stand up to heavy use. What about 80crv2?

80crv2 is fun, I've made some beaters out of it in the past.
15n20 is another steel I like.

I usually have a few knives that distract me in between actual projects.....This is one of them.

I'm still tweaking it, and I don't know if there will be Any interest in this one, but so far it's pretty much everything that I want..... I believe that I'm going to call it "Straight-Back Farmer".
It's 3V heat treated at Bos, sculpted walnut scales with black liners, and My handmade aluminum & bronze threaded hardware.
Should be ready for sale in a couple weeks.












More to come, Thanks.....

Thanks. I'm making this one flatter than normal. It's going to be for my Father-in-law 's 76th Birthday. Now I need to find him some snazzy scales.

Elder burl is snazzy lookin.. pretty sure you can by already stabilized blanks for scales.

I think Pop's had some elder last time I looked, recently.....

There is some WW2 rag micarta I see floating around that is screaming at me too

Ohhh also a fantastic choice!

There's also g-mascus and that amber colored Ultem stuff.

I saw that Ultem stuff a couple years ago on a Helm..... I think it looks pretty cool, but almost a bit "futuristic looking" for me? I'd have to come up with a new design to show off the tang under those see through scales...

 

[Crag the Brewer]

It's funny how new designs work....?
Here I'm finishing up some rough grinds on a few knives. The top one is going to a guy Here on BF. I'm excited about his reactions to this one. It was a quick design I came up with in order to send enough to my heat treater..... I call it "Long Paw" as the handle is for Really Wide hands.

The middle is a little (for me) hunter style I've been working on for awhile. it's going to my father in law for an early May birthday.
I haven't made too many knives for family members yet. It's his 75th and he's still going strong! It will have Many years of use...

The bottom one is a bit of an experiment. It's D2.
It's kind of general use.....bait knife.affectionately

Ive read here that Nathan's favorite steel is D2, and I only have 1 folder/Benchmade with that steel. I asked my mentor/knife making buddy here if he could heat treat me some to play with. It's low temper and actual Cryo. I'm going to use it hard, and see what I think? It's my birthday in May too, and I Think this is going to be my present to myself.

What I'm Really stoked about is what just happened, and is going to be a soon to be Future knife design of mine, I Just came up with.


I tend to like longer blades.
But after holding my father in law's hunter for Many hours..... I Love that handle shape. It fits my hand like a glove. It's perfect.
I'm going to merge the bait knife with it, for the Perfect, boring knife.... As seen in the drawing.
The subtle changes are hard to describe.
The knife is Just a knife. Perfect. It doesn't get more simple than that...
It's "Just Tuesday"
Available hopefully soon, this Summer.

All 3 look awesome to me. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks a Bunch!
I've got to be careful with starting too many knives at once. Haha.
I think I've got probably 6 close, but not quite finished yet.

Next week I'll be getting more handle scale material.
I'll update as I make some progress. I have a couple weeks to finish these, and then start More

Picking out vintage micarta for my next customer order, hope You like it.... This is the problem with loving Stouts (beer) everything starts looking rich and chocolatey. Love that brown micarta though...

 

[Crag the Brewer]

With my newest design, my handle has been a work in progress.
I found some beautiful, brown, vintage Micarta.

I installed it, but it was just a bit too thick.
I was worried about grinding off the bark....but form follows function in My book. So I did it.

*Bonus..... I'm Really loving the looks underneath.

Here are some early action shots of the build.
