Alabama Damascus Liner Locker

It has been a while since I made a liner locker and I really enjoyed making this one. The blade and bolsters are Alabama Damascus and the scales Bark Ivory. The liners are anodized blue titanium. File work on the blade and spacer. This knife is a great collectors piece.

Happy New Year!

The old give way to the young. New thoughts sprout from fertile ground.

While the New Year beckons us with many promises, don't forget to give the old year its due.

Learn from past mistakes and carry the lessons of time with you.

This year resolve to laugh more, love more, forgive more, friend more and learn more.

May 2011 be your best year yet!

I call this one green Mamba! Wicked sharp, snappy walk and talk, level in all three positions, blade dead center. I used ATS 34 knife steel. The blade is hollow ground, hand polished and hardened to 60 Rc. Blade length is 2 7/8" OAL 6 1/2" and closed length 3 1/2".
I used 416 Stainless steel on the bolsters,liners and shield. The liners are relief milled. The shield is double pinned and the scales are Stockholm green jig bone. I finished it off by filing the bottom of the spring.

Slip Joint

I am very happy with this one, crisp grinding and perfect walk and talk. Let me know if you would like to own one.

New Project - Sambar Stag Trapper

Blade and Spring, hardened and tempered. First thing in the morning I will grind the blade and hand polish it. My aim is to finish it tomorrow. I will keep you posted on my progress.

Project completed

A couple of small problems were cutting through the guard and fitting the guard snug. Other than that I am pretty pleased with my effort. The best part of the whole project is that they are all sold! Selling price $280. Let me know if you are interested in having one of these.

Progress on Hunting knives

At this point I got the guards on and also the antler handles. I have polished the crowns, they look stunning! All that has to be done now is to shape the guards and finish them off. I'll post some pics shortly.

Hunting knives in progress

Good day guys
I have been away from my blog for to long and spending to much time in my knife shop. I am working on an order of 9 hunting knives with antler handles. I hand polished 9 blades today. My shoulders are hurting...but what a good feeling of achievement!
