nc_cooter Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Here's a couple of knives I finished today. The top one is a HS graduation gift for a friends step daughter, Miranda (AKA Randi). Randi is a beautiful young lady who loves to hunt. Years ago I gave Randi her first 22Cal rifle, so I thought it fitting that I provide her first custom made knife. The handle is a white tail crown, provided by her step dad. The blade was made from some of Aldo's 1084FG and was clay coated for heat treat. OAL is 8" with a 3 3/4" blade. The next knife is a gift for the yard boss at a local scrap metal dealer. Steve has been very kind to me and I though it was time to show my appreciation. The handle is curly maple and the blade is 1095. The OAL is 6 1/2" and the blade is 3". Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nc_cooter Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Thanks for the nice words. I probably average giving away one knife for every six I make. I love making knives and like to know that my knives are used and not kept in a drawer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
