I think this is my favorite so far. I like that blade shape, and mammoth ivory scales are awesome.

Anyway I introduced my friend Bob to my friend Ed he owns Salish Knives...
Bob started looking around and I watched his eyes start to glaze over, Ed does some amazing work. I had asked him about making me a Damascus carving set about 6 months ago. Well he brought me a carving knife and a chefs chopper. Carver has a rose wood handle and the chopper is ebony with a copper hilt. The balance is perfect and you can shave with either one of them. Bob wanted the chopper, I said ok and Ed said if I liked the carver he will make me a matching fork. I can hardly wait.

That blade is crazy awesome

I sent that roach belly knife to my daughter, but I liked the design so much, I made another one out of D2 for myself. This one is a tad longer with a thicker spine. It's out for heat treating now, and I haven't taken any pictures yet.

I think a couple of Bowies will be next. One medium sized for myself, and a full size Jim Bowie design (18") for a friend that I promised to make decades ago but never got around to it.

Alcorn small fixed blade knife with Fred Harrington engraved bolsters. made the knife for the Wolverine Knife Collector's Club in Michigan; it was raffled off in one of the numerous raffles taking place at one of their shows at the Rock Financial Center in MI. I bought my "card" and lo and behold I won!

It's a nice knife - honey jigged bone scales, engraved bolsters, nice leather sheath...and not for sale!

Jens ANSO "Pocket Scalpel". I chatted with Jens on FaceBook about this and another knife; he said that he had made this (and some others) from leftover Damascus from other knives he made. I'm glad he did!
