Butch,
Thats a beautiful and very functional looking Fillet knife!:thumbup:

The pattern in the Koa compliments the upswept in the blade!

 

[Taximanny]

Those knives are beautiful! What is the handle material?

 

[Justin Presson]

Thanks greenjebadiah! The little cleaver is Ironwood and the hunter is Koa.

Butcher steak/boning that thing is beautiful. I would love to be able to get tips like that. I always end up burning them up. Any tips?

I think I'll call it the Black Diamond Rifleman's knife. An old black diamond file, through tang construction. Amber dyed elk antler, brass guard and buttcap, and a copper ferrule. All of the metal fittings were jeweled with an engraving pen.

Just have to etch my logo, sharpen, and make a leather sheath.

This is the last knife I'm making until after I move into my new place!

 

[Matt Rochester]

First off beautiful work. How did you do the groove around the butt?

Shane I bet that copper and brass will look even more fantastic in a few years with a bit of patina

 

[butcher_block]

not ground to 0 but it was hollow ground with one of nates 48" platens
hot tip for not burning up the tip treat belts leik they are free and dont hog with finishing belts. also having a water spray bottle to wet the belt is a huge help (so long as the belts are rated for wet use

Nice clean design. Love it!

Got any more pics? Profile? Spine? One with a hand for reference?

I met Justin @ the KD Hammerin. Great guy. Awesome knives. Once I handled them, I recognized the style, before I even saw your username.

Butch, that boning knife is beautiful.

An ambitious attempt of a Wheeler style bowie is afoot! Kind of a end of the year, best I can do, sort of thing...

Here I used a marker to show where the hardening line is on here

 

[Matt Rochester]

Just finished this one up. 440c with Amber dyed camel bone. This was my first time using bone. I really liked it.

 

[Daniel Rohde]

^Very Nice!

 

[JeridJohnson]

I've got these 3 on the workbench. handles finished to 220 grit. ready for final finishing and sharpening.

Loveless inspired, O-1, 3/16" thick hollow ground and tapered tangs. Nickel silver hardware. cocobolo, canvas micarta, and maple burl respectively.

My first prototype/proof of concept knife inspired by the "Small Practical Drop Point" Erik Fritz makes...

Now I have to order some kydex and learn how to make a horizontal small of back retention sheath.
