Getting started at new place

I'm not fully back in the swing of things at my new place yet, but I had to get this pair out to a fellow that has been waiting for a very long time.

These two are 8" total with a nice skinning belly but still very useful for an all around hunter, made from 3/16" stock thickness Alabama Damascus and Presentation Iron Wood scales. Please forgive the darker pics as I dropped one of my lights and knocked it out.

Pure artwork!

I will try and get some posted up tomorrow.

Those are gorgeous. Your customer should be very proud to own those.

Here is a big A picture of my shop, if you have any questions just ask. I pretty much just have basic wood and metal working tools, nothing fancy. One of the projects I am wanting to start is build myself a new 2 x 72 belt grinder, but I have not started yet...lol.

nice knives and nice shop.

Awesome shop. I can only dream about having that much room. Of course.....you will fill it in no time at all.

That a heck of a shop....too clean.....LOL

I mean its a true red neck shop, its insinuated, and has a forced air homemade wood burning stove that will heat the whole shop in no time. I have plenty of room to do all my projects and tinkering. So far I'm really enjoying it, it does call for a few more tools though, now that there is room of course......

So jealous of your shop!

They are on there way to there new home, went simple with the sheaths some times I think simple is better...some times. Anyway, these turned out cool dyed saddle tan rubbed down with wash rag and treated with saddle soap/conditioner.

Holy carp! Those are amazing.

Another one off the list that has been there a long long time.
we will call this one 8" total with a 3 1/2" blade, steel is 1095 high carbon, scales are spalted stabilized Tamarand.

This one I have been wanting to make for a while, I put file work on the spacer between the bolster and scales, its also pinned onto the blank with 1/8" pins just like the bolster. Handle is giraffe bone with file work around entire tang and spine of blade. Any way tell me what you think.

I'm not a fan of gut hook knives but it's a beautiful knife none-the-less. The arrow on the spine is pretty cool.

That second one may be one of the prettiest knives I've ever seen. The file work on it is incredible. The sheath is perfect. You may actually be a Randalbrant or Michael Angelopotts.

That's some fine work. That's a nice shop setup, but where's all your clutter and mess?
