The sheepsfoot needed a little tweeking/tuning.
The kick needed filed so the blade tip would be inside the handle.

After closed. The nail nick is about 3/32 inch maybe as much as 1/4 inch lower.
Feels much better in hand now when using one of the other blades.

Also deepened the sharpening chole a tiny bit, making it round.

I haven't thinned and reset the edges to 10 DPS yet.
 
Couple of new blades, the Böker is in my pocket. It is a Böker Barlow prime curly birch, number 111942, steel is Böhler N 690. To my surprise it had a slight flaw, the end of the opening cycle was quite tight, but seems to get easier with use. Otherwise the fit and finish is fine, some of the best I have seen.

The Nordic Knife Design Stoat is a project, hopefully I will end up with a modern kwaiken - style knife with a katana - wrap handle. Sheath might be wood (plywood) and covered with fabric or thin leather.

Didn’t get around to it yesterday, but the bone/stag combo was on point…and…Merry Christmas!🎄
Totin these three for work. Just got this amazing Fall Creek pocket sheath from @Sharp & Fiery . Coleman is a great guy and would recommend him to anyone. Impeccable craftsmanship. Thanks, buddy 😃.

That’s a great setup Paul. You’ll have to give a report over the next few months of which fixed blade is leading the pack for the title of favorite.

I love that you are giving the 83 the preferential treatment. I can see the bone lightening up just a touch. It will look so good with pocket wear.

Beautiful stag José! I always love seeing your fine collection.

New month, new knives. Going with Christmas colors this month instead of picking just two or three for the whole month. These two today. Have a great day everyone! 😎👍View attachment 2408983
