I've been looking at those two knives all day. Pretty productive day in the shop!!
The Melee is a Dogget inspired Blackwood. Bob had a knife in the same handle material and lanyard hole configuration at his shop when I visited him last month. It looked SO nice, I HAD to do one myself.
I really like the 440V. I had my old metalurgy teacher help with the heat treat based on Crucibles spec sheat. Once he read the sheet he immediatly new more about the material than I did
I wish I had 1/10th of the metalurgy knowledge he has!! It takes a VERY, SCARY sharp edge.
The Mini Ninja was fun to make but with my folders in process and larger knives to make, it will be a WHILE before I make anymore
MAYBE a semi custom version for pre-holiday delivery later this year?? Just an idea, they are a neat little, handy knife !!
Thanks for posting the pics guys,
Neil
