Two Knives Just Delivered

[gables]

I have new job responsibilities that are keeping me out of the shop but have recently delivered these. Both are made of 154cm. Top blade sports redwood burl scales, stainless hardware with a 4.75" blade and 10" overall. The handle is a bit longer for my large handed customer. Sheath is by tradgang member Sam Morrissey.

Bottom knife was for a fellow Tradganger and has a 5" blade and 9 3/4" OA. The scales are mahogany dyed axis antler with copper accents and a stainless half guard.

Both are great but I really like the top one.

The bottom one really appeals to me. Reminds me of another you posted a while back. Beautiful and functional design. Really they are both very nice. I'd be proud to carry either.

     Two ham fisted thumbs up for the top one.  I build most of my knives so that they feel slightly too small, unless I am building it to fit someone specific.  That usually makes them fit most "normal" people just right.  Love the bottom one too.  Simple and elegant.

That clip point stag handled one makes me quiver in a good way!

Both very nice, nice photos too!

Many thanks guys. This forum has helped me most along this journey so far. The antler handled hunter is my most successful half guard, but as Danny pointed out, it is my second attempt at this design. I next want to forge a version with a hidden tang but keep the ricasso and cutting edge even, as seen here, per some great advice from Lin Rhea.

Awesome knives. Unique yet classic at the same time.
