Michael & others - heres a few shots of some of my work. I try to apply my knowledge of self defense/tactical matters to the design and construction of what I build, and half the fun for me is that expirimenting. I like to try new things, and almost all the work I've done has been expirimental to some degree. My influences come from a lot of people, Fred Perrin, Szabo, Bagwell, Emerson, Ryan, Piorek, Strider and Mad Dog, to name a few.
The first shot is, top to bottom, a tactical/fighter a female friend of mine designed and had me make, 3/16" 154-CM, 6" blade, F-18 carbon fiber scales (Her pic of it, after some use), and the second is a prototype of a Pikal (edge in reverse grip) oriented knife I am working on, that one is my current EDC fixed blade:
This pic is a grouping of stuff I have laying around right now, most of it in progress, going clockwise we've got a non-tactical kitchen knife, 1/8" 440C, a hawkbill in 3/16" 154-CM (for the same friend who has the tanto shown above), a 1/4" F-18 carbon fiber Warrior style knife, the pikal knife, a brass handled spike with velcro-attachable sheath, a fighting bowie out of 3/16" 1084 I am making to take to the Riddle of Steel, a 3/16" ATS-34 scaleless neck knife and another spike, this one one piece of blackened high carbon steel:
Hopefully this isnt out of line to post - not trying to sell, just share with fellows. Anyone wanting more information should contact me through email.
Anybody else care to share pics of their works? Love to see.
Oh yeah - sorry for the crummy pics, my camera sucks.
