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

Do you have a website for those of us who are luddites and don’t have Facebook?

No sir. I do not have a website. I should invest in one, but this might become work rather than a hobby. Thank you.

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

Thank you sir.
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.

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. ::groove::

Great job on the knives shown here. I particularly like the drop point with the black micarta. Is that G10 or what? You may have just inspired me to make another knife! Thanks!

Thank you. That knife has micarta on it. Please post pics in this custom knife section when you build! Love to see the work of others.

Thanks Doc. That has a 1600 grit hand finish. I usually stop at 300 satin, so not many get taken that far.
