Fixed blade builds

Post by Tony_Wood »

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.

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.

In the winter months I make one a week, or so. Unless I have an order. Then I work to fill orders.
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.

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!

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::
