I'm definitely no marketing guru, but feel I should point out that many folks don't understand 'liners' to mean what we knife makers think it means...

Here’s a skinning knife I’m finishing up. The blade is SF100 stainless steel. The scales are East India Rosewood with red G10 liners, and brass hardware.

Started rough grinding a small batch this morning, three hollow grinds and two ffg’s. Sometimes I feel like I’m cheating when I go from FFG to a hollow grinds. Nah.

I finished my uncles retirement gift. He’s been a steady supporter of me during my knife making journey so I’m wanting to show him my appreciation for that support.

Hello there!
Once again, I'd swear I posted a couple of days ago, then life happens and it's weeks between my posts.
Aaaanyway, my experimentation and practice for better tolerances/finish is still going strong.

Not much here, a wire wrapped handle and a two piece d-guard. Both were done mostly done for fun because I've always wanted to try these techniques.


What's really taking my time nowadays is learning to do curved fullers. While it takes some practice, it's doable with rather simple tools. Matching the second side is tricky but with proper scribing it can be accurate.


Last but not least, I always keep up with my practice on the basics as a preparation for my master smith stamp in the future.
Nowadays I'm a fan of square plunge lines. While harder to finish, I like the definition.
These are at 5x magnification, as a size reference, the edge is at 0.25mm/~10 thou.

I’m such a wood geek. This old growth curly redwood is blowing my mind lol. Rough off the grinder. Can’t wait to see it hand sanded and buffed.

Can you show us how you make those?

You did well on that.
