Been a while since I have had time to play in the shop but my bear guides wanted knives so I pounded out these two for them. The one has moose scales from a moose palm one of my guides gave me.

Nice Bobby.
How you been man?
Doing well - thank you for asking Chuck.
Just really busy with my "job" job which is not allowing me to play in the shop as much as I would like. That and I have a couple really big projects I am working on. I am building a sauna and the stove to heat it with and customizing a duel axle car hauler I picked up on trade to be the ultimate firewood and ATV hauler so my time at the shop has been mostly welding instead of pounding :)
Very Nice!!!!
great looking nessy blade! whats the blade thickness? and whats the steel make up?
Thanks KSM - blades were roughly 1/16th or so at the spine near the handle tapering to the tip and edge with a continious bevel until final edge at 25 degrees. Both are 15n20 and 1080 and around 50-60 layers.
Very nice knives, Bobby. I like the patterns and the blade shapes, although the nessmuk design is my favorite too.
