It's been a very busy last several months, and while I have produced a good number of blades, I haven't been as active online to post them. So here's most of them from recent months. 
Everything is 80CrV2 steel, with various combinations of paracord and hemp wrapped handles, and Boltaron sheaths except for the two retina-searing colors, which are Kydex.
In vague order from November to February:
This chopper was forged very close to the final shape. Minimal stock removal on the bevels.

O tanto with a 13 1/2" blade and wakizashi with a 15 3/4" blade. The waki was a commission from a Green Beret.

Hey, look, a midtech Little Rok with CNC machined bevels! Slowly making progress.
