    Just picked up two new knives from the makers , the steel is AEB-L, hornbeam handles, with the curve of the handle and blade, it follows the palm of your hand with your finger on the blade tip to open up the bellys.


    Got them for two friends in the USA as this maybe the last time I see them for a long time if my immigration to NZ comes through.

    I have read a bit about AEB-L. Similar to 13c26, and very similar to the stainless used by Mora. AEB-L is said to take a razor edge.

    Great looking knives.

    If anyone wants a good value knife of a similar shape as above, google “Hess knives”. They are great value. Made from 1095 carbon steel.

    Picked up this wee CRKT Obake (or-bar-key) last week, really nice japanese inspired design by Lucas Burnley with an acid etched blade.
    Overall length about 17cm, faux rayskin handle with resin impregnated paracord.
    So far has opened the shit out of some cardboard boxes and overall very happy with it for $85.

    I needed a going out knife ,small , friendly looking with a bottle opener for those ever present Beer bottles that seem to follow me around .
    So got this from the USA , my mate liked it so much he ordered one as well and bent my arm and ear until I made a sheath for him .
    He gave me a long list of what he wanted in his ultimate sheath .
    I purposely did none of them .
    Ya get what ya get , and ya don't get upset

    Sorry , but I bend the Moo for fun not income .

    Also that sheath is the last belt sheath I'm going to make for awhile , I'm now going to concentrate on traditional Slipjoint pocket knife Pocket slips ( basically a sheath to protect your knife in side your pocket against other pocket things like coins and keys etc )
    Here's one I made for a knife I inherited from my father who died earlier this year .
    The knife was given to him , or bought by him ( no ones exactly sure ) when he was 21 , he died at 81 .
    This knife will only be carried by me on special family occasions .

    Very nice! how often do you turn out something like that? Or do you make them to order...

    I have the same one @BRADS and love it. Sometimes I think it is a little too big for my liking, then I use it again and love it. Needs a better sheath than the basic one they come with though.
    Hunting is not a hobby.....its an addiction

    Well @Bryan and @BRADS if you ever want a better sheath let me know, Can also add a steel holder and have a nice steel that would go nice with them too, just started putting small bits of deer antler on them 2. Had a couple made by a mate and will do some myself soon
    @Ground Control Very nice leather work, Love your slipjoint one, I make one similar for the mercator
