Family Knives

These were made for family members. To the best of my knowledge they still have them. I made them Moses Lake.

The top two went to my Dad. He has never used them, but I did use the top one on my first deer years later. I had to borrow it because I didn't have a hunting knife of my own (can you believe it?). The blades were from 1/8" thick D2 and the handles were multi-colored Diamondwood. 

The bottom knife here is the same as the one above. The bowie knife though was for my brother as a gift. He liked the USMC airforce survival knives, so I made him a fancy one. The blade was 1/4" thick O1 and the handle was white Micarta.

Bowie Knives

I don't make very many bowie knives. I just don't see any practical use for them. However I have done a few.

This knife was made from 1/4" thick 440C. I think it is the only time I have used that steel on a knife. It had a Cocobolo handle with a white Micarta spacer. It was made in Moses Lake and I traded it for a computer.

I made this one in Moses Lake as well. It had a 1/4" thick blade of O-1. I forget what the handle wood was. It went to a friend on his birthday.
