A couple of knives
« on: May 12, 2010, 10:23:34 pm »
Here are a couple of knives I finished a while back.
The top one is O-1, curly maple handle, and stainless guard and pins. OAL is about 8"
The bottom one is 5160, ipe handle, and copper guard and pins. OAL is about 10"
Every year our church has an auction to help raise money for our little school, so that is where these went.

Thanks guys.
Jesse, the ipe is what I got from you on a trade. I like the looks of it. How is that knife working for you?

Greg, what are you talking about? You are already there!! That knife I got from you is great.

I really like the knife I got from you. That thing could skin a rhino. Glad you found a great use for the ipe.

Thanks EL D. If you ever get your hands on any more of that cactus and want to trade for a knife let me know.  :)
