I have 3 real nice hunters listed on my site from Dale. Deep hollow razor ground blades. His handle work is awesome,the knives nest in your hand secure ! Good Stuff

Finished this one up. 1/8" D2,pushed the 12" hollow grind to the limit. Ghost Jade G10, not sure what IO think of it yet. Handy little knife though.

This one is the Zombie Apocolipce knife, It is the only knife know to man that will kill a Zombie. 5/32" D2.

Hope nobody took me serious on that crap!!!

They look real good Dale I like the Zombie knife & think everyone needs one . But to be truthful,I might want my zombie knife bigger.

Been learning to taper tangs with a little instruction from Rick. Here is one that turned out good. I wanted to see how thin I could go but chickened out at .020

Plenty thin & looking good Dale

dale the 1st one is a real handy looking knife. good job on that tapered tang--dammed hard to get it that thin w/o blowing thru. cranky72

Just remember Dale that when you put liners and scales on that tapered tang it will appear twice as thick as it looked bare. Rick shoots for the optimum.

Ricks .005 tangs.are amazing. You have to squint to see if there os metal in there.

I dunno Mike, although I realize I have a biased opinion, it still looks pretty thin to me. Not Menefee thin. The only other person I personally knew that tapered that thin was
George Englebtretzen.

great job on the taper. Trick is getting to where you can do it as fast as Rick does. I swear he can taper a tang in about 3 minutes. Just flat pisses me off, but he's also got the only turbo charged grinder I've ever seen. That sucker raises the temperature in the room 5 degrees when he turns it on.

have you ever heard him snore while tapering a tang??

That tang looks real nice, and that natural canvas micarta with those yellow liners is not commonly seen and it looks exceptionally well...! Great combination of materials and workmanship.

Tired of the hassles of etching, so I got a stamp. This one is not as deep as I would have liked, but still like it better than the etch. I'm building a larger press that should do the trick.

I like your new stamp. Looks good. Rick says those real knife guys (collectors) really go for the stamps more so over etchings.

Well there were two reasons for the stamp. I got tired of etching with the set up the chemicals and the clean up. And I wanted a better look to the finished product. I know I have a high quality knife with an excellent steel proper heat treat. But showing knives on here up against Menefee Miller Dowell Ingram and some of the others I need all the help I can get. I hope to someday be in that caliber of makers.

dale i think that is a real nice taper;trying to get a perfect super thin tang simply means at first you are going to blow thru lots of knives.having watched menefee do this process i realized it has a lot of expearance behind it. cranky72

For sure amd he makes look so damn easy.

Here's one finished for a customer.
