Looking like a great blend of style and utility. Always nice to see a win-win trade. I hope you get a chance to put that blade to good use, Joe.
 
ha, so joe is not only a expert archer and bow enthusiast but also a knife maker? wow.
how is your custom phenolic ch doing? still drooling about that one.

edit: ah, i guess i misread that, eric is making that knife and you are posting the pics, right?
 
this is a great wip so far. I like watching other's process. cool knife, too. that integral bolster + guard is a new one on me. It looks sturdy as all hell.

Possum

I'm not an expert anything :) and Erik Markman is making this Blade

Thanks though :)
 
well, you have more knowledge and expertise than quite a lot of other folks, so that's okay.
the knife looks awesome, have fun with it once it is done!
 
Having just held one of Erik's knives 2 days ago....I'm pretty sure you'll LOVE this one he's building for you.
 
Final Shaping







Buffed

Notice the subtle contouring and flat areas for indexing

Most do not understand the thought pattern that goes into a well made and designed knife

Erik does :)

 
Very Nice!

You beat me to it! Just finished a nice camp knife for a Swampfire Bow I had emailed you about late last year.

Do you have pics of the bow also?
 
Looking good! I really like how it has an integral and separate guard? In fact if anyone cares to enlighten me, how would you properly describe that? Either way I really like how he did that.

Joe you seem to know your stuff in terms of ergonomics in knife fighting. If memory serves me, I believe Kali is a knife fighting art. Just curious if that is where your knowledge comes from?
