Let's see those knives!

I wanna see pics of knives! I'll start:

What did you cover the blade in to get the full black patina? It looks good.

I've got a couple of Opinels myself and played around with mustard on the blade - which didn't turn out too reat.

I blued the blade using this. Works great and keeps high carbon blades from rusting.

Here's one I finished up a while back. Walrus ivory, bronze and W1 steel.




This is todays edc kit...

The folder is a circa 1945-1955 Hammer Brand serpentine jack with shell handle construction, the flipper is a customized by me Kershaw Skyline, and the fixed is a drop point hunter by my good buddy Daniel Combs in Texas. Its 1/8" 1084 steel and walnut. Kydex is by Joe ______ (forgot his last name!) In Lousianna.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I saw it on here somewhere.

That picture is great for showing the scale of your knives.

Yeah, I think I posted that one on here a while back. A bunch of the guys in the straight razor area were always asking to see my work. I started on a new one the other day....

W1 steel, distally tapered, forged sori. Don't have a final plan for this one yet, just kinda wingin it.

Jeremy I have the old style handle of the knife back home, a fantastic camping knife.

I picked up my new knife today at Cabela's.

Here's a nice little one I have with a scrimshaw ivory handle.
