Thread: Various Knives

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.

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.

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.

These three were finished and one went in the post, one is to be picked up and I delivered the 3rd one to nieces husband today. Great ride with a 216 mile mile on the bike by the time we got home again.

Bird and Trout with canvas micarta on the NitroV blade



And the Bushcraft Hunter with scolloped canvas micarta on the O1 blade and the view on the way home on the coastal route.

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.

From 5.3mm sheet in 1075 high carbon steel.

The first in the new series K tip chef knives on its way. This is a 10 1/2 inch NitroV blade with Chittim handles to completment a set of knives shipped earlier.

For a driftwood whittler. Heavy 1075 blade and eucalyptus handle.

Then I would have to get stencils made the one off stencils for individual names or initials makes it less cvost effective.

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.

Appreciate the update Kieth and pleased it that it had meaning for your friend other than the knifem itself.

Knife # 900
I have a few days hunting organised for the 14 - 16 Dec so decided it was time to retire my old standby Light hunter with the end grain olivewood handles so I made myself this Tahr Hunter with scolloped OD canvas micarta handle over blaze liners with lanyard tube on the 1075 blade with jimping in a closed top sheath with edge stamping.

A Hunter skinner in 1084 with jarrah habndle scales in closed top sheath with honing steel. A bit of texturing and stamping on the sheath.
