And finished a custom steak knife for a bud,,,1095 high carbon with orange bone stag and green liners,,this will get everone's attention at the local steakhouse! LOL

Very impressive skillz you and Nate have, Hogkiller. I have a neighbor across the street from where I live that crafts knives in his garage. I haven't met him, though, just from what I hear.

Karma sent for your pics, teaching your son the craft, and the just plain coolness factor. ;D

I only made one knife in my day, and that was when I was a teenager, wanting a throwing knife. It was a bi*** sawing out of steel with a hacksaw, but I got the job done...

[Admin]

Looks like some awesome family time to me. ;D Karma for a job well done. ;D

Excellent Craftsmanship "John", I find it very Exhilarating that you are passing on, as well as Mentoring your Son "Nate" in this Truly Unique Knowledge and Skill. Golden Karma, Friend.

I will try to remember that bossman,,that skinner is in zebra wood and that was my last piece,,,

[hogkiller]

Some new ones,,the blades on the vented skinners have been cryo quenched,,seems to make the edge hold alot longer.
Orange G10 with black G10 liners on one and red G10 on the other. G10 is pretty much water proof.




A bullnose skinner with cool autumn orange jigged bone and green liners.



And one i did last winter. Started off as a skinner but the wife asked for a small kitchen knife for cutting up onions and taters and such so i cut the end off and ground it slowly and came up with my own half azzed Santoku blade. lol


I do girl knives too,,,pink G10 over red spacers.

[mitrapline]

You are truly an artist. Beautiful work Hogkiller!! ;D ;D ;D

[Jack]

WOW! KARMA COMIN' YOUR WAY HK!

You definitely do some awesome work!

[stomper]

Nice looking work. Do you have a web page with prices and photos of what you have?

[hogkiller]

Wife is working on one inbetween work and school Stomper.

2 new ones i finished yesterday.

First is a vented skinner in cocobolo with green vulcanized liners and brass pins.





Next is a fat drop point in orange G10 with 5/32" black micarta pins.

[Admin]

Awesome looking knives.

One of these days I'm going to hire you to make a skinner with a Damascus blade and rustic handle. I never really had any desire to own a custom made knife until I saw the ones you made. Good stuff.

old railroad ties are cool too ny. I know a guy in spain that uses chainsaw blades,,,he turns out some awesome and expensive knives and jewelry out of them.

And thank you very much lilweasel,,that cocobolo kicked my azz,,apparently i'm highly allergic to it even though i wear a mask and safety glasses,,,who knew??

These will soon be in the trading post by the way.

[nytrapper23]

John,here's the ones my buddy made. He inlaid a skull in the end of the one.he made another one for a guy that loves superman and inlaid the superman S in the handle it was pretty cool.

[nytrapper23]

[nytrapper23]
