cool bike!

Thanks, a lot of credit goes to the friend of mine who welded it up. Still couple od kinks to work out, but once I get the front brakes to work, it will be just finishing touches and paint. Any suggestions for the color?

That's an awesome blade profile for a hunter man. The way a drop point should be imo

Thanks man!!! Hopefully it will serve its new owner well.

Just finished this one up and shipped out this morning! Another .24” Lc200n Diver.

 

[eric brinkerhoff]

Another 3-v ! This one is going to be a little Bob Dozier style mini to see if I can pull it off , trying to see if I can capture the subtleties of the original designs...

 

[Tony Mont]

My upcoming batch is coming along.

 

[CThompson]

Back at it after taking a break for elk season.

 

[eric brinkerhoff]

Moving right along!

Worked on this Nitro V 8" Funayuki today with one of my laminate handles made from a fabric jelly roll. Tried out the Sunmax belts (45, 30, 15 and 5) from Pops and they leave a very nice finish!! Very shiny, but still a satin finish and food seems to come off the blade pretty well, too! They have a softer feel to them than the Trizact Gators and are a bit thinner and are very flexible, so they may be able to be used to clean up plunge cuts, too.

not much left to do other than make the sheath and sharpen it up! I started this knife 4 years ago, and it's the first knife that I made using a 2x72. It's nice to go through all these projects that I started when I thought I'd have time to do them, only for life to get in the way of my plans. It's a little weird, though, in that my ideas about design have changed since then. However, I feel like it's important to have fidelity to my ideas and see them through regardless of how bad I might think they are now- I figure it's a great way for me to learn.

Interesting. I like the way your grind makes the tip pointy but still leave lots of thickness and weight forward.

Finished up this one as a wedding present. This is my first knife using a steel other than 1084. It is 52100 thanks to JTknives heat treating!

it's a throwing knife, so I wanted the tip to be burly

Here's a new Wharnie in 8670 and Purple Richlite, looks like Purpleheart without the grain, and won't fade to brown.
I just can't abide a dead straight edge so all my wharnie's have a subtle belly.

Nice one, what is the handle material?

Thank you, it's stabilized curly mango and g10 liners. I have been really into mango lately, it's beautiful stuff!

That’s sweet!

Curly Mango looks beautiful, but can be very toxic! It was the wood that got me out of knifemaking back in 2014/2015 due to severe allergies, even when wearing a respirator while working it. It was stabilized, too!
