Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades 4 maple drop points almost done

Enjoyed making these 3/16 O-1. 9 1/4" oal. Maple scales, Brass liners,1/4 brass pins and lanyard tube. Still have to stitch up the sheaths and form them.

Sheaths are coming along well.

I really like that dark leather with the lighter stitching. Looks great.

Them ain't no sissy knives. ;-{>

"can you skin grizz pilgrim?" Bet those would do it.

Are these going to be for sale? I could be very tempted with the 2nd one down in the 2nd pic.

Thanks for the nice comments, especially the quote from Jeremiah Johnson! These knives were an order from a gentleman who is giving them as groomsman gifts. I have recieved alot of good comments on the blade shape. I will be making more as time permits. I have some nice fiddleback maple, cocobolo, and black and white ebony I am anxious to try out on some blades in the near future. I should try to take some better pics, the cell phone camera is not the best. I like the wood in the second one down as well UKdave!

I apologise for adding posts to post pics, but I cannot seem to add them to my earlier posts. Started wet forming the sheaths.

I'd actually like to see a view of the brass liners if you could.
Thanks.

Here you go jester, cell phone pics aren't that great but I hope they show up good enough for you to see.

All nice. Good work.

Those are some hell for stout workin knives, very nice indeed.

I did an etch requested by the customer on these blades, finished the sheaths, just a bit of sharpening and they are done!

Excellent craftsmanship! They look very nice. What is the type of steel you are using?

Buck, they are 3/16 O-1 tool steel.
