Sorry Belabear I thought I'd posted on this, I think they are spot on really like the sheaths my favourite is athos.

All the best.

 

[belabear]

thanks simon !

every one of them provided different challenges, sheath wise and handle wise but i really enjoyed the diversity in making them

since i´m still a beginner... been doing knife handles less then a year i´ve still a lot to learn...

cheers

They all look great, and i'm with the others on the favorite. But I would like to make one like d´artagnon.

Belabaer
I must have missed them on here as I did comment on them on BB and I do like them

 

[jojo]

Hi Bela. Nice work, mate. I particularly like the little black one Athos. And are you sure you've done this for only a year?

 

[belabear]

thanks SBW, thanks addo for the kind words!

i´m glad you like them!!!! )

brancho i thought long about posting them here also.... but i got convinced to give it a try since altough there are many on this forum who are also on bb but i thought maybe there are some who aren´t..

but since 97 forumites had a look and it is my first knife post here and nobody posted i really didn´t know what to think...

thanks again to all of you!!

cheers
belabear

Hi Belabear,
those knives are amazing.

Like jojo I can't believe you've only been doing this for a year.

Keep up the good work, and keep posting.

Cheers, Alan.

[stevesteve]

Oooh... Pick'n'mix

Athos (Ilike he turqouise) or d´artagnon (I likethe shapeof the handleand the stag) for me!

Good work Belabear!

 

[Pang]

[Pict]

Wow, that third one went right in the image file for future reference. I love your sheaths. Mine turn out looking fit for a long ride on the trade blanket. Mac

 

[Quill]

[Ozhaggishead]

Greetings from Australia!Nice work mate I like the first one best but they are all have they own charm.

 

[JohnC]

Very nice work, I like the first one (d´artagnon) especially.

 

[Celt_Ginger]

Very nice work. I'd be delighted to have made any one of them, let alone all 4.

 

[brancho]

but since 97 forumites had a look and it is my first knife post here and nobody posted i really didn´t know what to think...

I like this style of knife as you know but there are few fans on here compred to fulltang fans.

 

[SOAR]

Dont let it put you of posting on here again Belabear there are quite a few folk on here like Alf said who like a good scandi style knife and who will give good poitive feedback on homemade knives, keep up the great style my friend I for one know how good these knives are and look forward to seeing your next.

All the best.
