A few more ive finished recently

One of a pair, made form 3mm Rose damasteel with a 3/4 flat grind and has a micro secondary bevel.

I need to give it another buff and etch before its finished but its nearly done.

Another nipper pattern blade, It's made from 4.5mm RWL34 with a full flat grind, hand rubbed finish. The blade is zero ground and has a micro secondary bevel. It's handled with some beautiful stabilized spalted beech over black vulcanised fibre liners with nickel silver corby bolts.

OAL is 145mm and the blade is 50mm.

a bit of both really, it's are less threatening for none knife people and also my personal favourite blade style for paunching rabbits.

That's one of the most attractive Damascus blades I've seen!

Stunning work all! Especially like (in addition to the Damas of course!) the Knives with the RWL34 and Spalted Beech and the Bird and Trout. Were these commissioned or will they be on the block for sale?

Again, excellent work sir!

Nice :approve:
I do like the PSK 11, that looks like such a practical, comfortable to use, easy kept and cleaned knife :cool:
I seem to have taken a notion to that colour, first the $1,100 Timberline and now this one :)

cheers,
Toddy

WOWOWOW!!!! :D That first one is BEAUTIFUL! Unfortunately, I'd be too worried about losing it to take it out!

I'd turn into one of those people who keep certain towels/china for "best" ;)

Really impressive.
