All About Pocket Knives

Not sure whether to post in this thread or fixed blade thread but I guess I might do both eventually. This is a knife set I made a few years back with stabilized raspberry box elder burl wood and polished Damascus. Made the set for my wife who likes pink and this was about the closest I could get to that at the time.

Jimbo, That's some wonderful craftsmanship! Are you a Guild member? O'.

Thank you j.o. I’m not a guild member and never really tried to sell any of them. Just a hobby I have. I posted some other knives on the show your fixed blade forum also.

I think you'd certainly qualify with that kind of work. Proud of ya'. J.O'.

Thank you so much j.o.! I’ve been out of the shop since my wife’s knee surgery. Hopefully be back at it again later this summer.

You do great work, Jimbo. Those look really good!

Thanks Reverand! I’m hoping to be back out in the shop knifing a little as soon as the wife can walk again.

Some more wood handle knives I made over the years.

Wow! Great work. J.O'.

Zebra Wood on a pair of Queens from the archives:

Lovin that zebra wood for sure QT! Especially that larger one.

Very handsome examples of zebra wood, Q!

Man, those are FINE looking knives, QT!

I'm a bit late getting around to thanking you fellows for the compliments . TBH, I kind of forgot about this thread until getting this 2002 S&M #51T Mini Trapper with Osage Orange Wood handle. Nothing too fancy, but it happened to be on a pattern I collect, so naturally, I got it. I'd seen this type of wood on other knives previously and was never all that impressed. I guess it's one of those woods that just looks better in person.

Although it appears fairly plain in my photos, it does have a nice grain with contrasting striations that can be seen better when examined under a magnifying glass.

That’s some fine lookin lumber on that S&M Qt!

That Osage orange is absolutely stunning, Q!

Got this in the pocket today. Some nice Oak.
