This set away today with 71/2 and 5 1/2 inch chefs with a 5 inch general purpose and a 4 inch paring knife. Really pretty Chittim handles with mini corby bolts.

The new pattern Byrd Camp Knife with 7 1/2 in 1084 carbon steel with this first of the series being engraved for my agent who it is named for.
The description from my website
The Byrd camp knife is the ideal knife for all foods from meat through to vegetables in those situations where a rugged all purpose knife is needed whether it is at camp or for the family barbeque. This one has Buffalo horn scales over blaze orange liners fixed with corby bolts to the 7 1/2 inch 1084 carbon steel blade.

First three Lion knife handled general purpose kitchen knives for a friends shop in the victorian Precinct in Oamaru. Had a bit of a glitch with the etching (size wise) on the two top stainlessknives and the engraving on the carbon steel blade. Should have been an "N" on the end of Victoria and all future blades will be have the etching and engraving the same size as the smaller option but they will serve as they are for the first delivery.
top knife is "spilled Milk" acrylic over micarta on NitroV stainless blade
middle knife is Resin Ivory over micarta on the NitroV stainless blade
Lower knife is English Oak on 1095 Carbon steel blade.

Something I have wanted to do for a while. A Wakizishi styled blade and a hunting sword. Purly for decorative purposes but the blades are heat treated as all my other blade are.

Is the engraving hand engraving? I had a few knives made by a super knife maker in Aust ( now passed away) and he hand engraved his makers name on all his knives. Nice touch and better IMO than etching. Example below on a kitchen knife he made me.Quote:

The stainless blades are etched but the carbon steel blades are engraved. Those shown were done by Swans in Dunedin but going forward I will get them all done at Mcleays in Invercargill.Quote:

That knife went down a treat mate. Very very appreciative.
Apparently giving a knife in their custom is a big thing. I didnt know that.
