Some new ones I just finished
Here's a few knives I just finished. The pair you see is a Father and Son set at the request of one of the Team Sergeants in my Co. It was really cool that he wanted one of MY knives for his now infant son. It really made the whole thing special and put a lot more pressure on the project but I was honored to do it.
The Tanto or Ma'Tanto (named after the guy who ordered it) was by far the toughest knife design ever. He asked for a tanto but I wanted to do something different and unique. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO DESIGN A TANTO THAT HASNT BEEN DONE?!! Heck I dont know if someone has a blade profile like the one I have, if they do I have never seen it. It was 3-4 hours trying to draw that thing up and forest of trees.
Understand I dont claim anything. Dont claim to be some great knifemaker as I am not. Just recently found this addiction and have been lucky enough to get advice from some great guys like my friend Bill Harsey. Yep just named dropped and if youre gonna drop a name, mind as well be one of the greatest knifemakers. I havnt posted any knives on here (although one of my team mates did. Bravo Smash. That was my 3rd knife). I have been reluctant to post anything on the same site as Bill Harsey.
But here are a few I believe these are my 7,8, and 9th knives. I happily take comments, advice, and criticism. Enjoy, and for a few people out there that care. Wait till you see the new and improved Bravo-Smash. Enjoy. The Pair are 1095 differentially heat treated and the Ma'tanto is 440C properly heat treated and sub zero quenched. The sheath you see is m second attempt at kydex. It looks fine but it admittedly rubs a little more than it should. Well, Enjoy.
