Some new ones...finally
« on: February 19, 2011, 06:34:00 PM »
It's been awhile...took a break around Christmas...have some customs to do...a few repairs...had some deer skulls to finish...been fighting the flu for a couple of days. Dang...that makes me feel worse!!!  ;)

 
This one is a bright random damascus drop point hunter. Scales are stabilized spalted maple with black liners and brass pins. Blade is 4-1/4" with an OAL of 8".

 
This one is a nice nessmuck style skinner with some awesome Arizona Ironwood scales. It has white liners, brass pins & brass lanyard tube. Blade is 3-3/4" and OAL is 8".

 
This one is a cool little damascus drop point. Stabilized olive wood scales, black liners with brass pins & brass lanyard tube. Blade is 3" and OAL is 7".

 
This one is a stunning tiger stripe damascus bushcraft style blade. The scales are stabilized afzelia burl with red liners, brass pins and lanyard tube. Blade is 3-3/4" and OAL is 7-1/2".

 
This is one a did for a well deserving friend and Tradganger. Sweet damascus drop point with stabilized California Buckeye Burl. It has black liners with mosaic pins. 3-1/2" blade and an OAL of 7-3/4"

Thanks for looking!

I called it a nessmuck...which it reminds me of but a friend pointed out that it and the olive wood one are old Bob Engnath designs.

Clarence,

Those knives are all gorgeous. I like the buckeye the best of all the woods, and the knife with the afzelia burl is probably my favorite overall if I could only have a single knife to use in the field, but I would be thrilled to have any (or all) of them. The sheaths look great too. You keep getting better and better at this, and I too am surprised at how many knives you have been producing.

WOW!!! All are beautiful but if I had to pick just one it would be that spalted maple.
