Bruce, I would love to make you a couple blades. I don't have a website or brochure, but we can figure out something through email. jross 1838 at g mail.
Thanks man.
Rincon, I never knew how beautiful buckeye was. Drove by and walked passed thousands and never blinked an eye. Awesome you have some. Edge gave me some good info on harvesting burl in the show me what you're building thread. Most people make bowls, tables, knife handles, and what you did in coasters. The coolest thing I've seen are the guitars made with them. Thanks for the kind words.

Finished this one earlier this week.
It is available if anyone is interested.
180.00 includes shipping and a soft case. These knives are solid, I've carried mine daily for three years and it is still in perfect working condition.
Hopefully I show up on the death to spammers thread now.

Cool thread! Someone up thread mentioned the WW2 Fairbairn/Sykes I think. I have my Grandpa's. He won it in a poker game while stationed in Iceland as an airplane mechanic. I almost stabbed the motherfvcker that broke the tip years ago. I believe these were made for British Commandos and I think the danger is still part of their insignia, though I may be wrong.
The other one was my Gramps as well. Its Japanese steel with a stacked leather handle. Someone told me the handle was not original. I made the sheath. Custom .38 Special rivet too.

The Esee Izula. Love that knife. Classic survival knife - small blade for better leverage, good for piercing, chopping, skinning, making fuzzy sticks, using with a flint; you can stick it in your pocket or wear it around your neck.
Classic Leatherman. It's amazing what you fix or do with it.
Victorinox Spartan. The original. Good to have in your pocket. Never know when you might run across a bottle of wine or beer you'll need to open.

Sounds like the beginning of a good story. Will you tell us? And not just the story of your gift, but also of the knife?

Nice C. Wilmot. That handle looks comfortable and inviting.
I must say that CRKT has one of the best customer service departments I've ever dealt with in any industry. I filled out a replacement parts order and within an hour they got back to me with parts on the way at a grand total of 0.00 dollars. They're knives are solid too.

Have a 18" bar of 440 stainless I hope to get two fixed blades out of. Gunna use the scales below for one of them.Sea shells cast in a resin. Pretty cool looking and heavy. Wonder how they will cut and shape.
