I can tell you are trying VERY hard and it shows!!  :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:
I like the first one I have a thing for guards.
And if you want to start making me some knife holder like the first one we need to talk.  :p

thanks guys
the first was drawn out by the guy i made for, his spec.
the second one is for another guy.

kevin i like the guards also, but as you can see the s.s. pins and the nickle silver will not blend together. now the holder was not made by me, it was given to me by my dad.
I guess no one likes my stamp HA.HA.

Dana, actually I really like your stamp, do you press the stamp or bang it with a hammer?

I like both knives, I don't object to the pins being visable on the guard at all. IMHO you did a super job on both knives!

Both are real nice. Where did you get your stamp from? I like the letter style.

i got it from infinity stamp, not sure what the style is, but they have a lot of different styles, they start at 120.00 for your base stamp.
i should have 3 more to post next week.
