Very nice work

Very nice!!!

Those look good Dale. Those bigguns would be good in the kitchen. That stag hunter looks exceptional.

Thanks Guys The 4 big ones are my butcher pattern so originally intended for the Kitchen. Seems a lot of guys cross them over and use 'em in the field as camp knives or large skinners. I think they're really comfortable in hand. 3 of those are headed to Alaska. The one that looks like Stag is really Spalted Tamarind. Lots of color in that one.

Dale....really like the butcher pattern. I just ordered some 1-1/2" wide stock for a big kitchen knife on my to do list. Gotta say, I am a bit intimidated, that wide stock isn't cheap and I've never made anything of that size.....Jeff

Took me a lot of practice to grind those long wide ones on the big wheel, but I'm a slow learner. Menefee makes it look easy. They do come out really sweet with a hollow grind on the 14" wheel once you get the hang of it. Go a little slow at first and I'm sure you'll do fine. When ground right, they'll cut like a straight razor.

Looks good.

Dale does great work and is a super guy to deal with.

But you all know that.

Thanks guys

They all look super

Variety is the spice of life... I can't stand making the same knife over and over... This is the latest batch I'm just finishing up. I especially like the one in the middle, it's my first attempt at dying Camel bone myself and I think it came out well. The Tanto next to it is commercially dyed Buffalo bone.
