More of this world. Looks like my first knife shop purchase of 2025 is going to have to be another 100 feet of 309 foil.

This is my first dagger/double edged blade I've done. I'm doing a hollow grind on the blade, and hopefully will get some engraving done on the ricasso area. I've also been trying out wet grinding for the first time, and I'm honestly loving it (besides having to clean up the water splashing everywhere.
Any comments are appreciated!

First post in a while, it has been a busy year. This a camp knife with maple burl scales, forged from 1095 steel. I added an ivy pattern on the spine with offsetting black epoxy. The sheath is stamped cowhide. I tried to mix yellow and range tan dies to get close to the handle's tone but the color didn't come out quite as intended. Commission by a friend's family for Christmas.

The style is a bit different from the camp knives I normally make, but I think I'll be using this shape more in the future.

I like the file work and nice clean tooling on the sheath. Well done.

Did you use multiple thin black spacers to make the middle section?

No, this was a staked micarta piece.

I made an integral slipjoint where the handle is a single block of aluminum. The spring is mounted in the handle on some milled out shelves for it to sit. It's based on the old Big Chief knives. It worked better than I was expecting it to.

Thank you Forrest!

Last one of this year, though the sheath will have to wait.

The bolster has been 3d printed, no issues with porosity or hard spots or anything that I could noticed (topic discussed here: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/3d-printed-stainless-bolster.2011858/).

Just finished this linerlock,

 

[J Lensmire]

First attempt at a Loveless inspired drop point. My one concern is if my guard is too shallow/short. Obviously got to clean up and make it look pretty.
Natural Canvas micarta, blue fiber liner.
14C28N blade at ~ 63 Rc. Loveless bolts and GFlex epoxy attach scales. Brass guard silver soldered and pinned.

Here’s my very first boot knife. I don’t think it turned out too bad.

Next order up is this trapper in cpm154 and some mammoth covers for a customer in Monaco
