Did this one for a good friend , dunno how or why but I never made him a knife , he likes em big and beefy , so I think he will like this one.

Steel is A2 (.226 thick ) , Paul Bos heat treat , green micarta scales , 9 1/2" OAL , 4 1/4" blade , standard black leather sheath. 400 grit hand finish.
This one is ground thin , so it cuts pretty dam well , heck it cut me twice doing the hand satin finish. Sharpening it did not take long at all :D

working on a 1/2 dozen or so of these smaller ones , these I like to make as I know they will get carried and used.
Have another of these in green micarta without red liners and also one with tan G10.
Could have finished more knives this weekend , but had to get some archery time in and break to take the Mrs. to lunch.

Very nice work!

Functional designs yet still look "pretty".

I also happen to like liners, adds a touch of class.
 
Very nice work. Do you sell these knives I tried the link but it seemed to be another forum. I also tried to research them on the inter-webz but no real luck. Once again very nice.
 
John,

Those are definitely sweet-looking knives. My personal preference would call for more of a guard on the first two, but that'd be my only change.

Thanks for sharing!

John
 
Do you sell these knives I tried the link but it seemed to be another forum.

mostly I post up stuff for sale there when I have anything available. Of these , the first one was given to a friend , the small was sold this am , the others are available.

JShirley , the handles on the first 2 are simliar to the black & tan , so it has more of a guard area than the pict shows , it kind of washed out due to my poor (nature) lighting setup at 7:20 pm :)

Auschip , she still holding up fine eh ? I hope so.

I have a couple like the small one in the works ( about 85% done ), one with tan g10 and one with green micarta ( no red liners ).
 
Ancient is how I feel after a 12 hour Saturday in the shop ;)

a little clearer shot of the guard area on the bigger fixed blade.
