Randy,

this is one you should be very proud of.  It is an amazing feat of workmanship

Thanks Jan! Its at the scrimshader now and then Ill be sending it to COOP for some pro photos!! :) 

Randy, that has got to be one of the nicest things I've seen you make! Lovely, just stunning.

Makes me wonder what it'll look like after scrimshanding.

Just finished something

Made a sheath for it

Gave it a nice shine

And for the first time EVER put my name on a knife (by special request from the customer...I kind of like it. Think I'll do it more often)

You did a fine job on this one Alexander, it deserved to be the first one with a signature

Thanks Mr Noot. :)  That knife is awesome! what is that handle? 

I agree its worthy of your signature .  for sure! 

Here is some of my High Carbon Neck Knives. I call this design the Travler. 

Thanks Randy, (and call me Alexander please, Mr. Noot is my Dad ;-) )

The handle is one of the canine teeth (corner tooth) of a tiger. The customer came to me with the specific request to turn that into a knife handle.  One of the main problems with that was the fact that it was almost completely hollow. So I filled it up with a resin type material.

He also wanted something with a forge finish. So I did that (it's a reforged Nicholson file) and I polished out the flats to give it a nice bit of contrast.

I polished the tooth a little but hardly touched it since the customer wanted it to look as natural as possible. Pretty much everything down from the white spike on it is the root of the tooth.

That's a nice neck knife. I love the way you do your logo in the handle itself. Seen you do that a few times. What kind of technique do you use to get something like that done?

Anything new guys?

HOLY CRAP Alexander. Thats amazing, I never would of imagined using a Tiger tooth!! Very cool!  

Ho Jan!! :)  I have a project in the works I call Bad To The Bone Ka-Bar Clone. If you all would like I can do a pictorial or a WIP of the process? 

Randy,

We would love to see it

Casteel Knives

I just had to share this one.  Tony Bose sent me this pics.  It is a Utica Salesman Sample that came to him with a broken back spring.  Notice the swedge work and how it makes the blades just "fit"

A shadow slipjoint with a wharncliffe blade, made by a slipjoint master. It doesn't get much better than that. Todd is really hurting my pocket book, but it is a very pleasant pain :)

LOL Gary.  I can imagine that is a very sweet pain!

I dont know about you folks but this knife is on my dream list!!!  T Bose!

This group sounds like it is right up my alley.  I have posted one custom knife: http://www.iknifecollector.com/photo/barbwire-bone?context=latest.  I will post some more later

Bose Ivory Opener...

Tony Bose has produced a unique and beautifully hand-crafted IVORY handled, ATS34, custom knife opener to be used exclusively as one of the NKCA's 2013 Fundraisers.Bose' knife openers are extremely rare and very collectible! They can NOT be purchased, because Tony Bose only produces these for close family & friends; therefore we feel extremely privileged  to have been given one of these very special knife openers by long-time NKCA Member, Tony Bose.

Thought I would let the knife world know that a great knife maker, member of the guild, Frank Gamble passed last week. He was really something. P1010608.jpg

Frank was a true artist. I wish I could have met him.

Frank Gamble blades

A custom order

Wow, Tamera. Those are great.

Here's something new (for me) off my work bench.
Blade is 1085, bolster 304 and handle is zebra wood.
Blade is 150mm. Total length is 270mm.

This one is a popular design that I enjoy making.
This particular knife was made as part of our North Coast Knife Makers Club project.
Blade is 12C27, Bolster 304 and handle is Camel Thorn wood.

Yes, I agree. Stefan is talented. I like the sweep on that bolster. Not only is it aesthetic, it lends support to the blade. Thanks for posting it Stefan.

So I'm looking at saving up for a custom lefthanded, one hand opening, pocket clip knife in the 3,5" -4" blade region.

Just wondering what you guys like? Just window shopping at the moment mind you.

EAST MEETS WEST !! I Just received this awesome Al Mar Eagle which was customized by Ikc member Mr. David Yellowhorse. I bought the knife with Cocobolo wood handles, and per my request, Mr. Yellowhorse created the beautiful web turquoise handle scales and added the Eagle head inlays on both sides. Now THAT'S AN AL MAR EAGLE !! Many Thanks to Mr. David Yellowhorse, MASTER CRAFTSMAN.

Jon,

YH did one fantastic job on that knife and he blade etched it also!  I love it
