Latest Work...

Here are some knives I have completed recently ...

This knife was made for a repeat customer. The handle is stabilized Buckeye burl. The sheath was something new for me... It sits horizontally on the belt and is cross-draw.

A couple of Caping knives. The top knife has a desert Ironwood handle and the bottom knife has a stabilized spalted Tamarind handle.

Another look at the Tamarind Caper...

A couple of Tiger Myrtle knives for a repeat customer. The wood for these knives was provided by Cecil Fredi.

New Model Coming

I am currently working on a new model that I am pretty excited about. It is a semi-skinner with  a finger groove. The first one will have a beautiful Amboyna burl handle. Once I have completed it, I'll post photos.

Have a safe and enjoyable holiday!
