    Default A few that I've made...

    Been a hobby knife maker for over 35 years and thought I would share a pic of a few.
    I still have the 1st knife I made when I was 12 years old (very crude!), but enjoy having some time in the shop when the weather outside sucks.
    I repurpose old sawmill bandsaw blades, crosscut saw blades, etc. and utilize the stock removal method.

    neck knife.jpg

    Here is a prototype neck knife I have been working on.
    It is made from a repurposed crosscut saw blade.
    A couple minor things to address with the handle shape, but cuts very well.

    nice job, like seeing repurposed materials.
    so the definition of a criminal is someone who breaks the law and you want me to believe that somehow more laws make less criminals?

    Been a while since I posted and wanted to share with you good folks.
    I need to find a good source of leather so I can make sheaths for all of these knives...

    Made this knife and display stand for a charity disc golf tournament down in S GA.
    One of the local players there has cancer, and the guy that set the tourney up will raffle or auction it off.

    A couple of 3 finger/necker type knives I've been fooling with.
    The top one I've named "Dogbone". Handle made from dogwood, blade is from a sawzall blade.
    The choil piece is made from a nickel.
    Second one I call the "kiwi". Handle made from red oak, brass pins, and the blade is also a sawzall blade.
    Thanks for looking!

    Those are pretty cool. They both look like mushroom knives. Very nice.

    And now that you mention it, they do resemble 'shroomin' knives.

    Well done. Looks like they would be at home for wood carving as well.
