Hello,
First time posting here (read the rules so I hope I am doing this right).
I would like to have a Chris Reeves Pacific, but can't justify (to myself) buying a Knife when I have pumped thousands into making them...
I have never sold a Knife. I don't even make that many of them yet, and I'm still an apprentice. But I know I can make a Knife for a trade. I have provided some of my latest works:
This Knife was made for a General

The might knife... because I just might keep it

I am only working 3/16" 1095 and I always create a hamon. The knife made will be about a 4" cutting edge, 11"-12" total length, wroght iron guard. If your interested, we can talk about the handle materials I have on hand, but I am picturing an amboyna burl/african blackwood handle. I will send a picture of the completed Knife when I am done to conclude the trade. I will not deal with new members (sorry, don't want to get scammed) and because I want to make the user happy, I will give you a week after recieving the blade to return if you want. I really do my best to make quality Knives but really don't know where I stand on that. I just made my dad's Christmas gift and as soon as he gives me the pictures (he is the photographer in the family) I will post that too.
Thanks for reading, and I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas / Holiday Season.
