Here's a couple of new designs that I'm going to try and make about 6-8 of each year. So far they are turning out to be pretty popular with my local buyers, hope you like them.
First is the "KÜK", which is one of my favorites.
As for the name, I started out calling it the Churched-up Utility Knife, which I shortened to CUUK but wanted to pronounce as "kook".. so it ended up being the KÜK.
This particular knife is 1/4" thick 1084 and has end grain linen Micarta scales & stainless tube for pins. It also has an upgraded wet molded sheath which the customer specifically requested a heavy stitch on.
The design is actually based on a retracting utility knife and offers plenty of leverage plus added grip on tough pull cuts. I designed it far easy carry on a wide utility belt or of course it can be carried on a regular belt as well. There's also a D ring integrated on the back for clipping or lashing the sheath to a toolkit or bag.
The second knife I'm calling the "Crooked Spade", and is another one I'm going to try and make on a regular basis.
It's also 1/4" 1084 and is designed to be a small stout EDC. The upgraded pouch sheath pictured mimics a cell phone case for discreet carry.
The scales are Lignum Vitae with a stainless hollow pin and a large hollow Micarta tube pin. The ball shape of the scales offer pretty suprising grip and a few different hand positions.
This one wasn't 100% finished when I took the pictures but this time of year you have to jump on the good picture weather when you can.
Thanks for looking, you can see some more pictures on my site.
