Still need to do logo, edge and sheath but I am happy with my first taper tangs.

Getting somewhere with these gindlines.
Three puukko's because I like making them and a bootknife because I always wanted to make one.

Some serious stuff on last couple of pages... Can't wait to get back to making. The new shop (old 50 m2 garage) got the roof recovered last week, so I will probably start on repairing the water damage on the walls soon and then paint, electricity, walls for grinding room. I will probably open a thread to ask for advice on the shop soon.

Nice flow. You are finishing them like on a factory line, do you even still have your day job?

It's easy, you just cut out sleep until the bags under your eyes physically starts to interfere with your grinding

This one is for a good friend and coworker, for his dad's 80th birthday. His father was a Green Beret with 5th Special Forces Group in Vietnam. His career spanned from the Jungles of Vietnam to the Deserts of Iraq in the first Gulf War. My friend wanted to do something special, so we settled on a custom knife. in this case, a drop point hunter in 4V. The scales are camo linen micarta with the 5SFG "flash" in red/yellow G10. Copper signifies rounds down range.

Hopefully he likes it....

I feel like you couldn't make that up unless there was a granule of truth to it lol.

That kydex came out great!

Ps, that knife looks like a nightmare to make.

Got a few hours at the forge yesterday and got these knocked out. Still have to go back in for touch ups but it's good for me. A chef knife in 26c3 that I haven't decided if it will stay that way or not.. and a Bowie in w2 for a take down challenge we are doing here in the Maritimes.. I have until September and I might need all that time

Finally got back to working on a kitchen knife( Magnacut ) for my wife. Stabilized some scales last week, and used Honduran Rosewood on this one. Drilled the pin holes, and got the outer edges sanded to the metal. Now awaiting the styling director, to select pin material. Sorry for the terrible lighting/photo.

If you make slipjoints you know the utter feeling of loosing when you're sanding the shadowdisk with ever higher grits and you see the pivor reappear.
I had it happen a few times in a row and set them aside for a while.
Yesterday I took this one apart and put it back together with new scales. I kept it simple because it was all about getting the pivot right.
But it worked out and I'm happy again!
RWL34 on bronce washers and paperstone scales. A nice and light EDC.

I was having a good day in the workshop and managed to ruin it all in just one moment
