I started making knives in July of 2008 after attending a gun show in Ruidoso, NM. I saw a table full of custom knives and said to myself, "I think I can do that!" Nearly three years have passed since then. I've upgraded my equipment slowly but surely. I've passed several milestones including getting a website, doing my first knife show, and making knife #100 and my first folding knife. The knife I have for you today is somewhat of a milestone as well. This is the 150th knife I've made. I like the milestone knives to be special, and this one is no exception.
Here are the specs:
Steel: Mirror polished 3/32 CPM 154, heat treated by me, with dry ice cryogenic treatment
Bolsters: Dovetailed Nickel Silver
Filework: double cut wave
Handle: Cocobolo from the Amerine estate.
Dimensions: OAL 7 1/2 inches, blade length 3 inches tip to bolster
Presentation side, in hand
Back side
Filework and dovetails
Mirror polished
Someone suggested on another forum that I should have used a Benjamin for the reflection pic. I told him that if I had Benjamins, I wouldn't be selling knives
Thanks to all the Bladeforums folks who helped me along through the process of learning this craft, and to those who will help me keep learning.
