Pretty sweet work as usual.

I must say, for a thread that starts off as a joke, those sure are some serious knives! Very good work sir. I tip my hat to you!

[RealPreppersWearPurple]

I like the skinner with the Paper Micarta Scales.
What are scales?

[Rick]

Handles....

[natertot]

Really? I think I'll say I have "Love Scales"!

[Pal334]

Looking good

[hunter63]

Well, don't feel bad y'all, I called them handles as well, till started hanging out with these artists.....Just didn't know any better.....LOL.

Have been making basic DIY knives for a lot or reasons, with a lot of materials, including files, saw, lawn mowerblades, even steel strapping, and sharpened hack saw blades with friction tape handle (not fancy enough to be called a scale) for a lot of years.......But these guys are GOOD!

Nice job, like like them all and the handles too.....LOL.

Nice work. Nice handles. Nice grind lines on the tanto.

[Skinner]

Scales=Handles
Handles =Scales
Either Way there the Same

[jake abraham]

[ibosserman]

Really? I think I'll say I have "Love Scales"!
