Those look great!! I was just talking to a buddy about learning the trade. Keep up the good work.

Gorgeous! I love the subtle red under the grip and the fat tang.

Making for sale or just as a hobby?

Very nice blades !

Sweet! Nice stuff man. Can I ask how you are cutting the shape? By hand? machine?

I recommend knifesmithing, it's very therapeutic!
Hey, thanks for the thumbs up.
I bandsaw 3/8" 5160, then hammer forge (coke or electric) to contour and blade angles,
then grind, heat treat to the max 5160 can stand without becoming unstable, then grind
and polish. They finish out at .357", my favorite caliber.
I started selling to friends who were deploying a while back.
I think i'll trying to sell a few but i can only make one every two
weeks as i have a day job.

Great looking knives!

Those look like work horse knives. Love em.

Man those are nice!

Mine didn't come out nearly as clean as yours. Then again I was going for a rough look with it...
