    Default Knives I have made recently.

    I am not going to show the full Work In Progress pictures as it is very long post. So rather, just some pictures.

    Model 1 With Butcher Blade shape.

    In future I plan to do a few with a standard flipper and significantly contour the handles. I would love to hear some thoughts on the design.













    With a few others:



    Here it is being used by my father:

    Well done. Craftsmanship outstanding. Like the clean lines.

    Very nice work. Any chance of fixed blades in the future?

    Some great knives. 1 or 2 seem to show influences of Chris Reeves knives. What material have you used for the scales?

    Thank you. I base my designs off classic slipjoint patterns.

    Thank you. Not at this stage. Want to work on folders mainly as they intrigue me.

    Chris Reeve makes a great knife and I would lie if I said that his knives did not serve as inspiration and motivation to try and improve upon.

    Scales are 6AL-4V titanium, 4mm thick. It is the best material to use for liner and framelocks.

    Thank you for the kind words Daneel. I really like the skinning blade as well, especially for work that requires a more pointy tip.
