Those are nice Garry. I have considered many times buying one of these. I would imagine it would be almost as fun as shooting my Henry rifle.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Q.S. I know what you are sayingQuick Steel wrote: ↑Tue Feb 21, 2023 10:43 pm Glad you like them,T-Dog. I find them very difficult to photograph. For example, in the photo above the blades look dull tho in reality they are highly polished.
also the length of the blades adds to the difficulty of getting a good picture. Never the less you got a good pictures and some real beauties there!

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
I would say "Yes" I have been to Argentina and them 'Ol "Gaucho" knives look suspiciously like kitchen knives...
but I still love them!

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Theses are a few of the fixed blades I’ve made over the years. It is a fun hobby and I made most of them at work although now since I’m retired I make em at home.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Thank you Dan! That set has stabilized raspberry box elder burl on them. I made that set for my wife. She loves pink so I tried to get as close as I could to pink.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
The last pic I put on is of some knives with wood handles that I posted on this thread by mistake. I posted the wood handle knives on “ wood you show us your wood” earlier.
