Here's my first one I made for someone else..
Utility Fighter:
HSS Vintage micarta, with vintage micarta pins

















I didn't know this at the time, but the person I made this for later told me that they have low self esteem and confidence issues. They told me they keep my knife in their car and every morning before work they Unsheath it and hold it.... And that "Rush" they get holding It, helps them feel empowered, and that they can now tackle the day's challenges.....

That's probably The Best compliment a knife maker could ever get.... I was more than flattered , & beyond fortunate getting it so soon in my journey.....

A fellow Bladeforum member from Europe wanted a Rough & Ready, hard use, thin, high performance edc. Handle comfort was paramount..... He even labeled it with a fancy German word.....(Can't find It in my messages, hopefully he chimes in). This was made from a piece HSS, from Starret.
This was the first time working with this handle material. Richlite. This color really looked and felt like ebony....I ordered more.

Thanks,
I've got so many in my phone, Ive to post....I'm not going in any order, other than grouping by "style".....not really sure what way is best to do this? Perhaps some day, if it gets busy in here, I can ask to sticky some stuff to the top?
 
I should of posted This one first, but I'm a chaotic sort.....Ha.

This was my first sale.
A coworker's kid had my Hunter model (prototype) on loan. I made the Hunter as a pass around knife for everyone to have it a couple weeks, then send/give to the next person.....

That was the first week of November.
Week after week. Initially my work was, well....it's Just a knife. Then, when his custom knife his girlfriend bought him "wasn't cutting it" he called out for Mine..... Only then was it starting to get used. After deer hunting season.

Then I was hearing the stories, the yarns of comparisons he and his customers at his shops would make in their makeshift cutting competitions..... Now they like my knife.
His dad tells me, he Won't give it back until I make him one to replace it.
Felt more like a ransom note.....Ha.

I caved, and to his request I made one (last week, he's had my knife for close to 4 months) smaller, about an inch less. And thinner, and shorter in height. I'm calling this my Craftsman model. It's going to be his EDC, helping with opening packages and cutting string when tying/restringing bows.
I put good effort in uping my quality, and it's looks. I'm happy with everything about it.

It was the first knife to wear my mark in the wild.
I feel I am off to a good start.

Looking good mate, I particularly like the jagdmesser or whatever that German one is. Looks like a practical and attractive knife.

-If ya are ever looking for another hunting knife, I've got fat stacks of all kinds of steel...
Cruwear, Wolfram, AEBL/NitroV, heck maybe a 3V or so......
 
This is .....currently my current carry.
Say That fast 3 times.

It's not finished,I'm waiting for my rotary platen to clean it up.
Until then it's getting Used. The Hard high steel blade is tougher than you'd think, and holds an edge quite long. Impressive really.













Photo bomb.....Oops








Ever growing, ever moving ...
