Ah. There's another guy in Como that makes knives, mostly deer antler handles, that sells them on CL. I emailed him and may meet up sometime.

Lots of great makers in MO, Don Hanson III, and Kyle Royer to name just two.

 

[Forrest Taylor]

I know what you mean, some of them just have to be kept. I started making them for friends, some of whom pay me which helps with the separation anxiety.

 

[Forrest Taylor]

For some reason I thought Royer was in CA.

Cutting up MagnaCut, CruWear, CPM154, CPM 20CV, AEB-L, 80CRV2 and 3V for a batch to go out for heat treating!

Getting close to finishing this set.

Clean grind lines. I love the rounded area right behind the sharpening choil, really nice touch.

This is exactly what I've been striving so long to make my knives look like!

this is really funny, but when I look at your knives, I am thinking the exact same thing I really enjoy looking at your work here. Thanks a lot.

I got my hands on some interesting old stock micarta that I put on a prototype knife for myself to test some features.
The figure with the dark spots actualy reminds me a bit of snake wood. Micro meshed to 12.000

I've been trying for a while now to design a decent looking Wharncliffe or sheep's foot. This one is 3/32" s90v , hollow ground on my 12-in wheel! There's just something so useful about a sheep's foot but most of the designs I see are very ugly! This one's still a little ugly to my eyes but I'm getting there I think!
Edit to add: the third picture down is before I ground that little concave section near the tip on the spine!

What do you use a sheeps foot for? I have one in my kitchen, and honestly, i struggle finding a reason to reach for it. Other knives always seem to feel "better" for any given job...

 

[eric brinkerhoff]

Perfect for slicing open a bag of chicken feed or dog food , great for opening boxes , good for cutting leather...any time you need to score something!

General wood carving and/or wood working tasks.

Hmmm . Don’t do any of that in my kitchen, which probably explains it…

 

[Scaniaman]

Giving a sheepsfoot just a little bit of belly, and lifting the handle some away from the edge, is a performance booster. Makes it a better allrounder in my opinion.
Here's my current shop knife.

It’s my go to blade for almost everything in my shop, especially leather work.

Yup

The only reason my sheepsfeet don't look more like this is because I am trying to avoid copying Mr Scaniaman!
