OK my apologies, I’ll show some photos here when I’m done.
I must say that’s the first time someones gotten upset for me posting too much.
 
Slow going. These four have some molded kydex pants now, still need to shape the sheaths and put an edge on the blades.

A couple knives I finished recently.

This first one is something i was asked to make for a charity auction a local aa club does. They just said there are a lot of bikers that go there, and kinda gave me free reign.

I ended up doing a knife inspired by the buck 119, but with a full tang construction.

M2 steel, natural linen micarta scales, and i forge welded some mokume-gane (basically damascus made of copper and nickel) for the guard, the butt, and the pins.

I had to rush some parts because i was already behind on knives I was making to sell. But overall I'm pretty happy with it.

This one is a 9 inch (225mm) gyuto in cpm m4, with a mokume-gane ferrule/bolster with a sweet gum handle museum fit to it. Stone wash finish, though it doesnt really come through much in the picture.

This last one I havent finished yet, but thought i would share. Its a little bunka with w2 clad in wrought iron. IMG_20230503_054659391.jpg

I might not sell this one. I did it to get an idea of how wrought iron forge welds. So i could have a better chance at success later on with steels im more interested in.
 
Got another Borka Blades Stitch going under the chisel next, going with a Betsy Ross kinda theme on this commission. This will be a monochrome piece with various textures instead of anodizing for color, should be pretty sweet!😁
