Freerange, that is a great looking knife!!

Here is my first attempt at making a knife. It was a Christmas gift for the fiancé (hence the pink liners).

It is 3/16 thick 1080 steel. 3 1/4" blade. Some sort of burl wood for the handle? Same wood on fire steel. Kydex sheath until I can learn to do leather.











Overall very fun project! It took a heck of a lot longer than I thought it would to finish. Heat treating was the most difficult thing for me. I didn't have time to make a forge and had to get it up to temp in an oxygen bottle cap with a MAPP and propane torch. I realized I would starve to death in the custom knife business. She really liked it though!

Same specs as the last one with slight ergonomic and aesthetic differences. The handle material on this one is Sycamore with blue G-10 liners.

Hey Peter, nice re-handle makeover. Is that a eucalyptus wood handle?

Could one of the knife makers here pm me have a question please?

Here is a small EDC I made a couple years ago. A friend of mine is a knife maker and I spent a few hours visiting him. This was what I made while I was there.
I have to go see him soon. I need to make another. LOL

I made the sheath as well.

Sweet

Both knife and sheath are beautiful!! Do you make sheaths? I just got a new knife that came with a kydex sheath, but I'd like to have a custom leather one so it would be more comfortable to carry on the belt

 

[skibum315]

Texastortuga, that's a gorgeous knife ... well done.

 

[Texastortuga]

Thank you guys. It was a fun process.
Yes I make sheaths and generally play with leather. LOL

Thanks again!
