This is a knife I made many years ago, and not a great pic, but I wanted to include this one to show where I've gone over the years. Rosewood slabs over an elm centerboard, brass pin and bolster, and a L-6 blade. I made this one somewhere around 1990-92. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Another small Japanese-style piece, blade is W-1 steel with a draw-filed flat, this one was polished and mounted by Keith Larman, and the shakudo habaki was created by Patrick Hastings. This photo was also taken by Keith. | ||||

I've been calling this design my "small game" knife, about a 3 inch blade, curly maple scales with brass pins, hammer-textured flats and a formed leather sheath. Often these get used for a small utility as a neck-knife or clipped into a pocket. A handy piece. | ||||||||||||||
