Two EDC`s of similiar size, but otherwise very different. You all may be getting tired of these "Making Of" threads, but I enjoy showing what our members creative minds come up with. Hopefully you all will follow along over the next several days to see how they progress, and the finished products.

Here are the cutouts I was sent. Top one is from KYenglish, and the bottom one is from jds1, called the Huron EDC.

Here are the blanks ground out.

Tomorrow I will be grinding the bevels, and drilling the handle holes to be ready for heat treat on Saturday.
 
Never tired of the wips.
That's 2 very useful looking designs,congrats guys.
 
I like seeing the wip threads. It's always interesting to see what others have designed, and then see the process into a useable tool.

Of course the guys waiting to get them might consider it torture to see the progress and waiting til it's done.
 
Very nice! Awesome that you accommodate your customers so well. You will have another soon! Looks like you produce a quality knife. :)
 
I know I'm going to like these designs. They look like workers.
 
Heat treated blanks.
