Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Here we go again.

Some new stuff coming down the highway.

CPM S30V. Mill thickness .112".

Nice, Tim. What steel?

I like that 3rd one down in the top pic Tim. Are these sold?

The two pics are of the same blanks 1/with and 2/without holes in tang. I meant to keep them in the same order.... but can't seem to keep anything straight any more
.
The pics are of 8 different paterns, but do not represent a "build batch".
Some are sold but I have more blanks and steel.

The real work is yet to begin.

I will be doing a couple batchs of these, the quantity and mix of paterns and timing to completion to be determined yet.

Orders for specific patern/knife will be honored first,
--then some for stock done second.
Expect pricing to be approx $150 and up depending on handle materials.
Tim

The shorter boner does look good and the wider B&T looks great. Also agree with your decision to reduce the beak on last one.

Now get off the dang puter and make me a knife

Today I am assembling High County Hunters with sambar stag. Heat wave with the garage up to 40 degrees.
Computer time is actually warm up time today.
Sorry, but you are a little ways off yet.
How about the one with the cord wrap slot???
Tim

40 degrees, h3ll that will melt your snow!

I would think the backpacking crowd would be all over a lightweight, quality made, fixed blade knife. You should lace one up and post an image on the Backpacking forum and see what they think, I don't think they browse down here often. The one blade I laced up lives on my work bench and I'm learning to love the parachute cord handle.

You find anyone yet to do your Kydex?

Its a meltin. I don't know what happened to On Scene Tactical, I can't seem to raise him with contacts I had used before. He did the hard sheaths for my T-10s.

I might have a local source, or find someone when do the Wolverine show last weekend of April. I imagine Mike Sastre will the there.
I might have to get into that process myself, but not real anxious to do that.
Tim

Lovely Tim. You ARE making mine first though, right? lol

Tim, still planning WC the 16th?

Breakfast?

Yes, Sam and Rick are first with this project---well along with myself and ......?
Actually, Sophia (new Granddaughter) will be at the top of the list. Nearly 3 weeks old and doesn't have a knife yet.

Tom--s/b @ Sallys around 7:30.
Tim

Initial grinding done. Now to heat treat.

Sorry my pics are not better.
Now to start thinking about handle options for those not spoken for and sheaths. This is just a sample of the styles. There will be some of each pattern available.



Tim

This is most likely a dumb question but, do you have a website Tim? I cannot find one to save my life.

Moosedog
I was trained by S.F. to hide in plain sight. Works huh.
I will pm you with my photobucket album of some of my work.
If interested pm me back or call.
Thanks
Tim

I guess I should just show the album site here.

Thanks
Tim

Ahhh...works very well. Beautiful work!

I like the 3rd one down in the 2nd and 3rd pics.
Whatcha usin fer scales on dat one?
I think stag would look great.
Price?

That pattern was originally one I made for my wife and I handled it with walrus ivory, so I call it Barb's Knife. Real catchy huh?
I can put some stag on it for $160 with pouch style leather sheath and shipped conus. Actually have two blades available.
Thanks
Tim

FWIW
I made several extra of each pattern that can be available with most any handle material new owner desires.
Bottom four are totally new to me, top blade and bottom three were inspired by 24 members.
PM me and we can work on it. I am out of town this week.

I did handle one each of the bottom four so Doug (757) could work on sheaths while I was gone. They each in their own way feel really great in the hand. Anxious to sharpen and field test.

I will be doing my new lectro etch logo on these.
Thanks fer lookin and comments.
