Thread: Various Knives

This lot has been a joy and a drama to do. 10 Chamois Hunter tribute knives with some beautiful Tasmainian Blackwood handles over curve backed buffalo horn bolsters on the 1084 blades in edge stamped and initialed sheaths. I had originally had the blades laser engraved, with the forum logo on one side and names on the other but they made such a mess or the job with no two logo's in the same location and names running off the spine of the knife so it was near two days to hand sand the blades again to clean them up back to the 1000 grt finish. It is way more difficult to do this when the handles are on than with bare blades but I made a leather protected holder to hold the handles that is wedge tightened and it works well but was a real dissapointment to have to do so. Phillipa from McLeay Jewellers & Engravers in Invercargill did a stunning job of traditional engraving to get them all done for me. I wont show the other side as the names are on there are private to the persons concerned. Hard to show all the logo's at the one time as the light and camera angle changes the sharpness but in person it is clear, crisp and really exacting in execution.

Always enjoy updates on this thread. Thank you for sharing your craft with us

This 951 Belt knife is a new design prompted by a customer who had used a similar but much smaller knife and asked for this scaled up version with heavy thumb jimping for general use (skinning etc) and lighter forefinger jimping for when it is being used as a capping knife. The orange liners under the scalloped OD canvas micarta add a splash of colour to this otherwise very utilitarian knife and the 15* down horrozontal closed top sheath to keep it handy but out of the way.

A Chamois knife with these pretty spalted Karelian Birch scales on the 1084 blade is away to a lady hunter in Texas.

This Hunter Skinner with Wild Olivewood handle over Gabon Ebony curve back bolster in plain closed top sheath is away on the morning courier.

An AH EDC with Tasmainian Blackwood and dark chocolate lanyard in a horrozontal Sheath.

#'s 960 and 961 ready to go
A Chamois Hunter with brass bolster, an orange spacer and oak scales and a Tahr Hunter with scalloped OD canvas micarta over orange liners in a closed top sheath

A new pattern for me was this Loveless style from 5mm O1 steel, 416 stainless bolster, stainless corby bolts for the buffalo horn handle on the 4 1/2 in blade and weighs in at a hefty 11 oz. The honing steel is handled with a piece of sable horn.

Checked out your website - beautiful knives. I see they are quoted in US Dollars, the bloody exchange rate is a killer at present.

Thank you. US$ prices because the vast majority of my knives go off shore to numerous countries and this is the most understood currency to do that with. I do make some concessions for NZ
hunters though.

Worth every penny
Bloody well love my knife given as to me as a gift
It's fantastic
Highly recommended
