I am finishing up my first two knives but need a little inspiration. I would like to see some pictures of your knives doing just what they are supose to do getting bloody.

You doing stock removal, forging or kit knives as your first ones?

Here are a couple.

Right now I am just trying to learn the craftsmanship skills and shaping technics so I bought a couple files, a grinder and a sander. I am almost finished with both and the second is way better then the first. These are gifts for my father and FIL this Christmas so I should have pictures up next week. I was inspired to make them from some of the file knives I saw here.

Ingrams







I thought I had more bloody pics but I guess I usually snap pics before I get busy.

Whoops, forgot about the Ingram Bird and Trout.

That's a nice looking knife, do you mind sharing the particulars?

I had cleaned them up a little after skinning, but you get the picture.

Brad,

Nice knives, looks like you have been giving them a workout.

The knife in the picture is a Dunn. The specs are Small Game & Bird: 2 �" x �" blade. 6 �" overall but when I ordered I asked for it to be larger if possible and the one I recieved has a overall length of 7" and the cutting edge is 2 3/4 inches. the steel is S90V.

Here is another pics.

Here is the only bloody pic I could find. It's some day-old blood on a Slim.

Here is one Roy did up for me, never had an Ingram but dont see how it could be any better.

Here is a "michiganroadkill" knife, dam fine blade!!

Really nice pic. I knew you had it in you.

Thanks
Tim

Mine isn't bloody, took the pic before I got to working. This is a MichiganRoadKill knife, and I will second the "dam fine blade" comment from pasport.

Well, I have a couple pics

I tried to get my buddy to chew a chunk of whitetail heart,like on "Dances with Wolves" He did not,lol

I normally don't butcher my game where they lay but today I felt a little frisky and having already dragged a deer 200 yards this guy got it done. I don't know who made this knife my cousin gave it to me about 10 years ago and I found it again this summer. Its handmade and made quick work of this guys thick hide.
