Oh man, those are stunning. Exactly what I'd build if I had the skill.

Very nice work Caley, I really like that rat tail brute with green dyed stag!
Great work!

[TrackerNy]

Great collection of knives there Caley.

Thanks guys!

WOW! What great looking knives!    

[4dogs]

man those are nice, what is the smallest version of that brute you have made?

[KSCATTRAPR]

Thanks again guys. Mark, the smallest one is just a small brute with a rat tail. I had a really small set of green dyed stag scales that fit it perfect.

I think I've seen that frist one yes it's in my hand Nice work.

[Rick Enos]

how are you getting that rustic look on your blades..Like acid has eaten part of the blade.....Rick

[KSCATTRAPR]

Rick, Those are just hammer marks I've left in the blade that I did not grind out. I do etch the blades in feric chloride and  vinager when I'm done do give it the grey look.

         Nice job on all of them.

[GRINCH]

Very nice

[Sam McMichael]

The only problem with owning such nice looking tools is remembering that they are tools designed to be used. I always get up set when I drop one of my special knives in the dirt. I would be upset to drop one of these! They look good.

[KSCATTRAPR]

Thanks again guys. Sam, luckily, getting these knives dirty isn't my problem anymore, they all have new homes. But I agree with ya, I have a few that I've never even worn.
