Fixed blade builds
Fixed blade builds
I know that this is mainly a forum for slipjoints, that is what brought me here. I also like fixed blades, and have building them for about five years now. I call my knives Sheep’s Foot Knives.
Here are a couple that just came off the bench. Both 1084.
Hope you enjoy.

Re: Fixed blade builds
Super looking knives. I think you did great on all three. What a skill set.
Re: Fixed blade builds
A few more to fill a couple of orders.
Smallish at 4.5” overall, with pocket slips.

Re: Fixed blade builds
Wow Tony don't see even one that is not fabulous. How many you make a month? Are they all based on orders? Really quality stuff. I think that one with the Olive wood is my favorite.
Re: Fixed blade builds
In the winter months I make one a week, or so. Unless I have an order. Then I work to fill orders.doglegg wrote:Wow Tony don't see even one that is not fabulous. How many you make a month? Are they all based on orders? Really quality stuff. I think that one with the Olive wood is my favorite.
I always make a few extra to set out at local knife/gun shows. Usually don’t sell well at gun shows, but the traffic by the table ends up generating orders.
Thanks for the kind words. Sorry, I am just responding. I missed your reply until now.
Re: Fixed blade builds
Another one in 1084. I use that for all of my stock removal knives as the heat treat is consistent.
Curly maple, mosaic pin, and matching bead.
Thanks for stopping by!

Re: Fixed blade builds
Another beautiful knife. Love the maple. And thanks for the reply, I am sure you are busy.
Re: Fixed blade builds
A few that have been profiled, drilled, and stamped. Now for the grind...

Re: Fixed blade builds
Tony, those are fantastic. Beautiful and functional all at the same time. I also like your choice of steel.

No sir. I do not have a website. I should invest in one, but this might become work rather than a hobby. Thank you.Colonel26 wrote:Tony, those are fantastic. Beautiful and functional all at the same time. I also like your choice of steel.

That curly maple looks great. As always, a really great knife. Have plans for any more bowie's?

I have a few more knives to finish before another Bowie. Those are freelance, off the cuff. That takes to pressure off, and allows this to remain a hobby.

Re: Fixed blade builds
I certainly agree with the comments about the striking curly maple. However, for me, the very first knife is compelling. The lines and grinds just all flow. I love that knife.
Re: Fixed blade builds
Fresh off the buffer and diamond stone.
