I make a few of these "between" orders, these 3 are going to the same customer.
Leave the flats as forged, and put a quick belt finish on the bevels... this along with a quick cord wrap keep things affordable.

Those are very business like recurves you have there. I like the forge finished flats.
Are the clips chisel or double ground? Sharp?
I bet you could sell a bunch of these, if the price was right, as kit knives.......just drill some holes for pins etc.
Darcy :)
thanks Darcy... the clips are double ground, and sharp. Ive thought about offering some as "kit" knives, but its a matter of finding time etc....
Real nice looking knives, great lines.
Very nice. What steel did you forge?
these are 1095, all have a temperline but I didn't etch/polish to show.
Beautiful work. Where in Jasper are you located? I'm up 195, but all I can do for knifemaking is buy blades and put handles on them. Your work is amazing. You keep me wanting to improve every time I see your work.
Im right off Knight RD, between old 78 and 79. Give me a message if you want to come by one day.
