nice work Chris!

 

[David Sharp]

They look great. Did the G10 break out around the pin?

 

[Bob Katilus]

nice. I really like the redwood one. Smooth lines.

 

[Dan Pierson]

They're both nice, the redwood one is really sweet.

 

[zeuqramjj2002]

WOW! both are amazing!

 

[wolffbite]

Awesome! And I agree, the redwood is especially sweet!

Hey, it is solid around the pin but the color change is from where i peened the pin. I wasn't expecting that as i counter-sunk the holes and everything. This is the first time i have used G10 for a hidden tang knife. i will know for next time not to peen them so aggressively.

I am glad yall like them, and i have to admit.. the redwood knife is super sweet in the hand and balanced just right. but my favorite is the G10 one.. nice and hefty.

did yall have any constructive criticism? these are the first knives of this type i have made.

I am making sheaths for them and then they will be going up for sale.
thanks

That tan G10 looks awesome, almost like some light colored amber. I'm going to try some of that out.

[David Schott]

Sweet blades, all around great looking knives right there!

 

[peri_pheral]

I'm glad to see you're still making quality blades, and am quite interested in the first one depending on how the carry sheath ends up.

 

[White Feather Blades]

Very nice work!

 

[Knifemaker87]
