I like the Hamon work. Pretty cool.
First 3 designs of the line for me, All by hand with files.
The 2 smaller 1084 hunters are tempering as we speak and the larger Farmer/skinner is heading of for a professional HT as its 01.
Quite cool this knife making malarkey, cant wait to blood one

Top and bottom are a more traditional style blade so will go with some nice warm wood. Maybe stabilised burl or birdseye maple, hard stuff to get a hold of here. Thinking they will both get a dark forced patina finish as well.
The drop point will be OD green linen Macarta and copper pins with a 800 satin finish.
I say this but I will probably change my mind about 15 times before they are finished as I see another custom knife I fancy.
