BSchermann, you have some very nice work. I especially love the second one down. It would be a great knife to go on hunting trips with. What do you call that type of knife, or is it just a design that you thought of? What did you make it out of? (If you don't mind me asking). I really want to make one.

That one was inspired by a knife forged out at a Hammer-in that I had at my house last year, don't really have a name for it. Here are the specs on it: The blade is about 6 7/8" from tip to back of Ricasso and is 1 7/16" at it's widest. Overall length is just over 11". The blade material is 1050 (ish?) that I forged down from round stock clay coated to get it to show a Hamon . I originally planned to put some wood scales on the handle but decided to try the hemp cord and really liked how it felt. Thanks for your time, Brent

Sweet stuff, I think a good name for that second one down would be a boukri, a bowie mixed with a kukhri, as it has that koukhri curve with a closer to bowie shape.
