That's good looking set your buddy's going to be happy with them I'm sure. I like knives with guards too, which for some reason you don't see a lot of.

Very Nice.....Like all of them !

Great looking knives Bob - raindrop pattern is one of my favorites. Did you hot blue them?

[R APPLEBY]

Thanks TK, and thanks all. No hot blue. Just acid etched up tp 1500 grit neutralized and waxed to seal in the black.

Awesome! At first I thought you were retiring, I was going to say- I don't think knifemakers are allowed to retire.

2 years 2 months to go then knife making will be my full time preoccupation.

Thanks all.

Kind of makes me want to retire. Those are some gorgeous knives.

Those are all exceptional, as are all of your knives, but I must say I'm a sucker for a long-clipped blade.

Amazing! I'm new to forum and the world of custom and handmade knives. It's a talent that I do not have but wish I did I'm just wanting to understand the process that's why I joined. Those are beautiful.

 

[R APPLEBY]

Thanks again all.

I always look forward to seeing your work in the variety of styles you do, but your images are the only ones I ever have trouble viewing lately. I just tried Firefox and they didn't load, so I was curious if it was just my browser, so I then tried google Chrome, no dice, and now I'm on my tablet, still nothin.

I'm curious, are you uploading straight to bladeforums? I noticed that the only comments here are from paying forum members, so perhaps anyone below a basic membership isn't able to see pictures uploaded directly to the forum.
