I hope everyone likes knives, cause thats what everyone is getting for christmas! I finally finished up the last batch of "presents",
some commissioned, some for family.
The top knife was a small piece of cutoff that i was kind of playing around with shapes on and came up with, kinda diferent but very comfortable.
It has a curly maple handle and 15n20 blade.
The next 2 have elk antler handles, hammered brass pins and the same steel. the bottom one is one of a matched pair and another new design for me, I Like it alot and already have
another order for one just like it. Thanks for looking.

Great work! They should be VERY happy!
Looking good.
I am liking elk antler more and more. I've got a couple of antlers just sitting around. You're making me think.
Ben,
That top one looks a lot like a knife I made out of one side of a set of bolt cutter blades. If the point was rounded-off to the same radius as your thumb it would be almost the same.
That was one of the best knives I EVER had. I skinned hundreds of beavers and muskrats with that thing and never once cut a skin with that blunt, but edge sharp knife.
I lost it on an antelope hunt a couple of years ago.
That's a design you oughta keep! Great looking knives. Simple, clean and all business.
OkKeith
Really nice!

I like those. Good work.
Thanks for all the kind words, still being very new at this, it is nice to have feedback.
Those are good looking Ben. The receipents will be very pleased!! I'm really impressed with the antler scales. I have the hardest time getting antler scales to look good..
