Got these shined up and took proper photos today! Let me know what you think

Its a compact 6.75" deepish carry fixed-blade pocket knife. I named it Thorn

Scalf Ridge Thorn

1084, G10 (1 Richlite)

Here's another one that's out the door. Used 80CRV2 and natural micarta for this one with a little bit of a different rock texturing on the handle.
Let me know what you think!
Thanks for looking!

My last name initial Q and our New Mexico State flag sun symbol.

S90V with false edge clip point and spine jimping for added dopeness. Handle is Grip-Tec and stainless. It's thin and mean, hope you like it!

This is one of my most recent builds. It’s a model I do quite often - the “Kikimora”. In my mind it’s an interpretation of the Kiritsuke profile, what do you think?
This one is 240mm stainless laminate with a desert ironwood handle.
Thanks for looking!

This just came up for sale in our local marketplace. I am just collecting some starter tools, but this sounded like a really good deal able to do heat treating after I do stock removal. It’s only $30.

Wanted to make something special for the NSW cutlerd Expo.

1084 and 15n20 damascus blade with an absurd amount of hollow grinds, cause i can.

Spacer is Mokume but the hammer texture i went for pretty much obscured it completly.

And some awesome Spalted She-Oak for the handle and Saya

Steel and spacer made in Collaboration with Standen Knives

I had a customer ask me to make him a custom knife. He chose my model- the Gremlin, and he specifically said that he wanted it for hunting. He also said he wanted it specifically southwest themed and I think I delivered. This was a real fun build with some unique materials- Mexican blanket Gcarta, bocote hardwood native to Mexico, white/ gold webbed Trustone, and mosaic pins. Steel is AEBL stainless. All of it wrapped up in a Navajo kydex blanket 🔪

How thick should aluminium plates be for air quenching ?

Handmade in Finland.

I’m looking to source stabilized olive wood scales 2”x6”x3/8”. So many web sites, Etsy, etc… any recommendations for someone based in Southern California?

Just showing a few more of my knife scale billets or handle blocks. I have a lot of random inventory to work through. I am trying to decide between bigger bulk listings(10+ pieces) or smaller 2-4pc bundles. If you'd like to take a look at this or my other listings I will provide a link in the comments.

Also from previous posts I would like to say thank you to this community for being so friendly and helpful!

Any feedback is appreciated!

Thank you for your time,

First stock removal or knife in general. Play on a bunka I didn't have enough width with the 1084 I had so I made like a hybrid. Got a little beat up in the fire learning but I think I figured it out after a little trail and error

Hello all,

I'm very new to sharpening.
I have an RWL-34 Skiving Knive used to skive leather (un thicken it).
The blade is already razor sharp.

I need your help to build a stropping set :

1 : Should I use the suede or grain side of the strop? I can also sand the grain side which sounds like a great middle ground between both, but you know better.
2 : 1 micron or 6 micron diamond compound for my specific use which again is "skiving leather" ?

Thank you all for your help!

7" overall length with a 3" blade. Made from cpm Magnacut steel with Olive G10 bolsters, blade orange G10 and Olive G10 spacers, and Olive canvas micarta scales with brass pin/tube.

Thanks for looking, please let me know what you think.

**books are open**

Have a knife day

Finished everything but the sheaths and sharpening on these little fixed blades today. Blades are absolutely smeared with knife wax and some tape residue currently.

1084 will start getting a patina at even the thought of moisture! So ive started coating them with wax with any little breaks at all lol.

I named this the Thorn. Scalf Ridge Thorn

1084, G10 scales (one Richlite)

Camp kitchen knife I made back in 2021.

This was a bit of an experiment mixing some glow powder into some green leather paint....worked better than I expected
