I did a post at the beginning of the month asking for your "Single Most Favorite Hunting Knife Style". JC showed this knife by Doug Campbell which is similar to the LaClair skinner.

Well the post wasn't without of motives

I have been trying to forge knives and felt stale in my designs. I also was present when JC downed a nice Angora goat at this years TX Sweat. When he pulled out his knife, my eyes pooped out. I decided I needed to try & use some of the components of that design in one of my blades...by no means comparable to a Campbell or a LaClair. Mine is a bit beefier both in blade & thickness. Now I need to come up with a handle. Thanks JC, Doug & Ron...Doc

Brent I agree 100%. I'll be happy with Doc's SCRAP knives

.Doc you make some great looking stuff. Ya know you could always just doodle blade designs on paper until ya come up with some ya like.I made a few more but don't wanna hoard in on the post and don't wanna start another one.<><<><

Awesome Doc. A nice ebony and cocobola handle would look sweet on those.

Nice work Doc. I really like that design on the top edge. Whatever handle you come up with I'm sure it'll be a nice one.

Brent, I only used part of one on side of that spike! I do thank you.

Yes indeed Vance did supply me with more horn than I know what to do with...a whole feed bag full. I think he is Santa...Doc

Thuya Burl for the larger one & some nice red Amboina for the smaller.

It's just too darn pretty for it's own good & a joy to work with :D

Beautiful file work, as ever

Rob, I should have said not comparable to Campbell, La Clair, Rob, Jeremy, and the list goes on. Thanks for all your comments.

PS: If anyone is interested in buying one of my knives, there will be three up for the St Judes Auction! The Bow Build Auction should have a real surprise, Shell will be adding her incredible talent in a beaded sheath for another one, then there is the TXS 07 knife with both groups signing it. Thanks...Doc

Doc, your way too modest, awesome blades!!

All I gotta say is I'm gonna have to start savin more than just my pennies come time for the St. Judes auction. EXCELLENT work as always Jeff.

"When he pulled out his knife, my eyes pooped out." Bummer, sorry, guy. :(
So, are you making Braille knives now? Do you need a seeing-eye shop drudge?

Killdeer~from the House of Ruthless! :mad:

hormoan · « **Reply #15 on:** April 22, 2007, 12:06:00 PM »

WOW those are _ _ _ _ enough to make ya speachless! Words just are not good enough

And Jeff I agree Vance could very well be Santa! And you won't find a better friend. I'm sorry we met so late in our lives. Think we could of did a little _ _ _ _ raisen! Then again we have lots more years to catch up! Lord willing!

Great knives Jeff

I suppose I better put you people on notice.

I bought one of Jeff's knives on last years St. Jude's auction. Paid a good price, but it was worth every penny. As nice as that knife is, Jeff has stepped his game up to a whole new level with some of these he's showing lately.

I would sure like to own a series of Jeff's knives, and will be bidding accordingly on the auction this year!

Nice work Jeff, I really like the look of these blades!

Bid high - bid often!

OK let's see, if I take out a 2nd loan on the house can I beat Killdeer and Whip. Doc won't be biddin on his own Knives, Doug will be busy Keepin score. JC is the sleeper here

Arrowslinger · « **Reply #18 on:** April 23, 2007, 06:39:00 AM »

Man, Those are some nice blades.

tippit · « **Reply #19 on:** April 23, 2007, 07:37:00 AM »

Here's one idea for a handle (not finished)...Bone picked up from last years TX Sweat at the ranch dump! Osage cap to cover webby bone marrow. Still several other knives to finish before picking one for Shell to make pretty for St Judes...Doc
