JPH Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Hello: Here are the results of the last few day's out in the studio. All pattern welded using 1095, L-6 and some meteoric iron thrown in for giggles... Bovine ivory or hard wood grips...phosphor bronze fittings... Hope the photos turn out...Again..not too bad for an old man working in his front yard.. JPH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Yeah, not bad old man. I always love your blades I just wish you had a little better set up for photographing them. I can still see the patterns well enough in most of the shots to need to dry my keyboard off. What's with the no guards? I get jumpy even handling a knife without something to keep my hand from sliding down the blade. I know there are any number of historic blade types that didn't have guards, say the Seax still. . . Is it current style, marketing, an artistic function, ? You could set whatever style you liked with your brand on it so there has to be a reason. I'm not criticizing, I just don't get it. Maybe I should buy a couple blade magazines eh? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HojPoj Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 The third one looks like it'd be nice utility knife in the kitchen. Nice work! (Though I do share Frosty's concern for the rest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPH Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 Guards..no guards..all personal preference..There are a lot of knives out there with no guards and well..as long as they sell..I will make them and folks LOVE the little double edged bovine ivory gripped knives but just about everything I make sells out quick...that's why I try to make as many as I can in a batch so I can have something to put up on my site..

Daswulf Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Awesome work as always. The only guard they would need if I bought one would be a guard to make sure it didn't walk off with someone else in love with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
