W&SS Forum Custom Neck Knife Challenge!!!

[Matt Brook]

Almost done.

Handle is Cocobolo. Steel is 1095 from 3/16" stock. It has a tapered tang and thumb jimping.

Nice Mike!

I got the final edge on mine, the sheath is finished and it will be on it's way to you Jason! Thanks for doing this, It looks like there are some great knives thus far.

 

[mtwarden]

^ another very nice design! like the addition of the little firesteel as well

 

[J. Rosa]

Still waiting for mine to get back from HT (within next 3 days). Cutting it close but hopefully everything works out....

 

[Wildewinds]

I'm really liking the diversity of the designs.

This is going to be a tough challenge.

 

[JCavSD]

I agree Mike. Been out of town for five days and just got home to two more, for a total of three. Except for the fact that they're neck knives, and very nicely made, they're all quite different.

 

[BMK]

A great assortment of some very fine knives.

 

[Rick Marchand]

Indeed. They are all good designs. It is going to come down to sharpness, edge retention and individual taste, me thinks.

 

[RyanW]

Rick you forgot shinyness and wood on handles!

 

[JCavSD]

I think we're going to need a stand-alone "crowd favorite" category.

I like my neck knives as low profile as possible, the knife is 1/8" Aldo's 1095 with a cotton wrapped epoxy coated handle with brown kydex sheath. I can carry this knife under a t-shirt with a very low printing of the knife. At this late hour I'm missing something so feel free to ask.



I will mail my knife in tomorrow (the 5th)

[Battle Creek Knives]

okay you guys floor me, there are so many great knives I'm almost embarrassed to show this... its a beater for sure..

I've had no time to extend greater efforts into this and I apologize up front, here is the very first knife I've ever made.. I messed it up pretty good in several areas, I entered with zero intention of winning, placing or even showing , but this is just what I needed to put a flame on me to finish up a knife !!

I've been working 7 days a week lately so if I find a little time within the next couple days, I'd like to make a more presentable knife, either way I'll be shipping at the end of the week..

 

[J. Rosa]

You did really well on that knife for a first! It takes a lot of the right stuff to do this and come through. Keep showing up at the grinder and they'll only get better.

 

[BMK]

Battle Creek,

Your knife is clean and looks very functional - I like the narrow profile. Nice job.

 

[GRIFFIN HAWKS]

I agree, Nice looking knife, first or not .
I also didn't read anything about winning anything, I'm involved for the fun (^;
And "Judges", PLEASE don't Baton my knife !!!

BE WELL .. GH

That about sums it up for me, too.

Don't worry, I've been watching videos of Bear Grylls batoning with a rock. Although I haven't tried it, I've watched enough video to be extremely competent with this technique.

Bear who ?
Thanks Jason, I feel better now that your going to use a rock instead of a useless and ineffective piece of wood

BE WELL .. GH
