Hi, these are my first knives that I think are done well enough to post on here. I make these when I feel like it on my time off. I grind them without jigs (wanna get good doing it by hand) so they're not perfect. I also experiment with different blade and handle shapes to see what's comfortable and to test the way they slice. Also living in the North West, every carbon steel knife I've had rusted on me pretty quick, so I do mostly stainless steels. Every knife is stropped to a very keen edge.

Anyway, the price includes USPS priority shipping to the continuous U.S.
I take Paypal.
I can also etch my makers mark upon request.

This one is a flat saber grind. I hand sanded it to 100 grit to give it a more "rough" look. Mini pry bar/skull crusher as pommel.

Here You can see a bit of a hole peaking out of the g10. It is just the very edge, no liquid will get in or out.

Knife 2
Scandi Grind with slight convex. This one I figured would be a knife to whittle at camp with and crack open a cold one every now and then. The handle is the most comfortable I've shaped to date, and will do alot more of it and some variations.

Some nice work man! I vote for #1 too. If it's still available in a week, I might have to get it.
