Dang Roger, that is sweet.

Nice work.

Damn Right !!!!!!!

👍👍

Well done.

Beauty!

Nice work. The base profile loots about perfect for an all around hunting knife.

You need a makers mark at the ricasso if you continue down this road.

👍 very Nice.

👍👍👍

Thanks, I'm happy with this one. I'm getting there on that quest for perfection, maybe before I die, lol.

🥃👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Where can one purchase one of these???

I'm going to make some more, my real job and time allowing.

Nice work! Can you give us a run down on materials?? I like a skinning /hunting knife that is very slightly blade heavy when balanced at the front of the scales/handle.

Engrave that slogan on the grips, and send me one - with the bill!

1095 steel brown canvas mircrata scales with g10 black liner and pins.

Me first!

didn't think of that, good idea.

Built in bottle opener too.

Sign me up on ur customer list👍

I was at a gun show today. There were some custom knife makers there. You could teach them a thing or two Roger. You have a gift bud.

This will upset biden voters

Roger, what's the blade length?

I'd be interested in helping you start a new career if I can get one in 3.5" or less

Would like one of those myself. Be proud, excellent work.

Nice work!

Cutting edge is a smidge under 3.5

Perfect, that means if my shirt tail falls over it and covers it from view it's still legal here.

Sign me up for one!

I'm going to order some CPM154 stainless next week to use instead of the 1095.

Haha awesome!

Just a simple bottle opener for me.

I like it Roger.

Nice looking blade, Roger.

Got that T shirt.

Told its not proper work attire. 🖕 em 😂



Wearing a Trump shirt with the saying would help on the floor, but doubt the office. Again, 🖕 em lol

deal to sell this knife fell through, so it's for sale $150+ 10 for priority mail. prefer cash app.

Nice work.

Pat yourself on the back Roger. That is a new level of kool.

kwg

Dude,

That turned out nice.

Love the handle profile. I bet it feels as nice as it looks.

It's so light it feels almost like you have nothing in your hand.

Looks good Roger! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Nice work! I've made my living making knives for the past 25 years or so. Always enjoy seeing pics of nice knives. Very nice job.

Thanks, I just started doing this back in November.

Instead of CPM 154 you may consider magnacut Instead. It has become one of my favorite steels and is about the only stainless I use these days. 154 is good steel too so not trying to sway your decision.

I'd say you're doing extremely well for not having been at it for very long. Really like the style of this blade you just made.

I was going to get some of each, maybe I'll go with the manga cut, I'm planning on making some fillet knives also.

I think you'd be extremely happy with the magnacut.

Nice!

bummer, I wasn't on the 'fire yesterday.

I hope the new owner enjoys it.

Datz purdy!

You Southern Baptists

Very nice Roger!

Nah, I'm retired..........................every day is like Sunday to me. I can take whichever one off I want.....................or six in a row off.

Very nice!

Impressive Roger. Even more so considering you are really new to the art. Congrats on a new talent revealed. I can't wait to see new stuff.

yeah, I was going to buy a new knife, and I thought to myself hell I can make one I have all the skills from other stuff I've done in the past it shouldn't be too hard.

If you clean the rust off the scale you might get it down to 375.0

Very nice though.

On your next version I might move the drill bit that you used at the bas of the blade out just a smidge so that the base of the blade is at 90 degrees or less.

A true blade smith could talk about the structural reasons. Aesthetically I think that it would look better.

On the bright side it will continue to improve with every sharpening!

I do like it though.
