John started working on my latest order. Here’s a before picture of the knife he’s re-handling. 2nd from the top.

Nice collection of older JK’s, looks like you have one of the only two made Kane II models.

Nice collection (and photo).

I’m talking about the one from the job you had when you were young.

HeyJohn, I finally hung this one yesterday. Just need to wedge it and sand the handle. I’ll post a photo when finished.

That Rule#9 XXL is pretty sweet.

 

[jds1]

Done!

Jeff

 

[JK Knives]

That came out nice!

 

[jds1]

Thanks John, it swings nicely too. Took the handle to 400 grit and used some cutting board wax to finish it. Feels like furniture!

Looking good, I’ve still got 3 larger ones in the shop, one is a double bit. Got around 8 hatchets in the house.

 

[jds1]

I still have two double bit and a scout hatchet to hang. This one was priority though!

The Wolverine initial testing was a success as well. The full handle feels great and really pushes you into the work. The blade shape and length are perfect for my intended use and the grind is very nice!

My grandson was taking my youngest granddaughter to Becky’s house to go swimming Saturday, a drunk driver crashed into them and totaled his car, Luckily they both walked away with bruises from the airbags. Now Emily is afraid to get in a car.

Oh no, that's horrible. Thank goodness there were no serious injuries.

 

[f1addict]

That’s horrible. I’m glad they were able to walk away from the accident.

 

[bikerector]

Sorry to hear about that and glad everyone is okay.

Glad they're ok.

 

[jds1]

Glad your family is safe John!

[f1addict]

How about either of these, or a flat grind version?

Jeff

Jeff, which knife is the top one? I’m possibly thinking of that one in a flat grind. Might make a really good deer skinning knife!

The definition of Bad Ass. That`s my grandfather, second from the right. Those were te days of the old time gangsters like Al Capone. I can remember him showing me original photographs of the aftermath of the St. Valentines Day Massacre.
