A couple of new ones

[juttle]

A bit different from my usual stuff, both are 01 4mm'ish, both have oak grips with black liners, both have buffalo dangler sheaths.

The smaller one is a bit over 200mm, with a 95mm blade, the bigger one has a 110mm blade. Both grips are 110mm. I'm thinking basic utility knives with no frills but capable of taking all sorts of abuse.

A bit of dodgy lighting one this one, the proper colour is seen in the bottom shot.

What do you all think?

Those are nice too what did you use for the stamp bud what metal is it made from

 

[Dreadhead]

I like these, as you say very good for the hard use

I have to agree with what`s said above. Very nice knives! I really like the uneven/unpolished surfaces.

Not bad Personally i'd lose the choil as they dont do anything and cause more problems than they solve.. I hear folk say they help choke up on the blade, but nowhere near as well as if the handle came upto the edge. Much more comfortable that way.

What tools do you use to make them?

Hi, Mark,

OK, loose the choil and extend the cutting edge up to the grip, but keep the sizes more or less as is?

Toolswise, a single burner gas forge, a 3lb 'catshead' type hammer and an old Peter Wright anvil. Otherwise just the usual array of workshop stuff, belt sander, pillar drill, etc.

I think the cutting edge looks to be of a useful size. IMO i think if you extended the cutting edge of the larger one upto the handle, and just lost the choil on the smaller one but kept the cutting edge the same size, you would have a couple of good sized options for folk to choose from. I like the shape... kind of a nessie type look to them
