Hello 24, There are some pretty awesome knives that grace these threads. I really appreciate you all sharing. Here is some of my work over the last few months. I may have shared one or two of these here in the past but most of them I haven't. Sorry for the repeats. A set of TCK #1's. Left to right is Mexican Cocobolo, White Paper Micarta, Desert Ironwood. A couple of Walrus Tusk #1's A Popcorn Stag Special edition in a cross-draw sheath. A hidden tang hunter. A TCK #3 with Spalted Maple. Cont... Todd

Sorry for not getting back sooner. I’ve been out of town all weekend. I will get a picture up tonight with spec information as well.
Most of the steel I use is antique (pre-carbide) American made large circular saw blades. They test out as either L6 or 1095. All the knives are hardness tested with scratch files and they make awesome blades.
Geedubya! Thanks for the shoutout old friend!

I agree damn nice blades, but that leather, oh my....

Todd I thought that was the case. A buddy up in Jacksonville makes knives using that material. They are amazing cutters, and look awfully nice, as do yours Todd.
