Well I've started making up some stuff,in the new year. I made some ceramic sharpening rods with Sambar stag crowns & tips for handles,some sold,some not. Just kinda getting warmed up a little. These are the first creations with blades This is the big butcher,sports a factory forged 1095 carbon blade from Russell Green River. It is flat ground super thin. A big knife that slices effortlessly. Real nice cocobolo and nickel silver pins. I pretty much do an all " slack belt" finish on the entire spine of the blade. 15" OAL with 10" of cutting edge top bottom [img] http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c150/VCM3/My%20blade%20creations/DSCN2878_zps46c971db.jpg[/img]

Very handsome blades. I really like that style of knife for cleaning bluegills believe it or not.

That knife is a real do it all,and feels just like a pocket knife ,in your hand,maybe just a little bit more "purchase" on the handle/grip Thank You for the good words,all of you,I appreciate it

Vince, that's some mighty handsome work. That butcher knife reminds me of an ancient butcher knife I have that has been in my family for over 150 years. Still cuts like a new one. It is the top knife in the picture. An original "I. Wilson, Sheffield, England" butcher knife like what was distributed on the western frontier by the thousands. Your butcher knife appears to have somewhat more work involved in its crafting than mine. L.W.

L.W. Cool knife. I'm sure you know this,but if you do not.. The I Wilson Co. used some steel they called " Shear steel" , or something like that ,I think it says it on your blade stamp. In those days that was considered some high tech, great performing steel in a knife This one was rehandled by a knife maker friend of mine Special buffalo scabbard by Larry Parsons The Russell Green River blades ,they say they are all old original patterns,and the steel cuts good & holds a keen edge. They make for a good blade to mess around with.

Thanks for that info, Vince. That re-handled I. Wilson looks like it'd still do a fine job of slicin' and dicin'. Nothing like a little nostalgia now and then. I still use mine on the Thanksgiving turkey and on elk and deer roasts. Makes the meat taste better. L.W.
