Hey Brad - indeed I do want to see your "Hit $ Misses"...always looking to learn something from someone else!!!

Got a link or do I hunt your home page? Did I mention these are gorgeous? Hmm..I did...OK - well it worth repeating!

Here is the link to mine...just a photo gallery - no real stories behind the magic.https://iknifecollector.com/photo/albums/from-the-wood-forge

Well I finished my friend's birthday knife. Wenge with Red liners. Wenge is a lot easier to work with than Purpleheart.

Lars,

I started with re-handling/re-blading an expensive vintage buck 110. Jan has the original blade from that project, i re-tasked it into an Elk tine handle letter opener. Then onto inexpensive knife blanks from ebay. All this is documented on this site, if you want see the "hits & misses".

I agree with Lars!  They are stunning and that purple heart was a great choice

Purple heart....nice choice! These will look spectacular when completed. While I enjoy replacing the plastic scales on inexpensive folders, that is not quite as ambitious as what you are performing. Can't wait to see the finished project...

Still working these...when the heat in Chino Hills isn't triple digits.The santoku and Chef knife are nearly finished. But, I have to put them on hold as a friend has requested I handle up a cleaver for her husband in Wenge for his birthday(Oct.22nd). So i'll be concentrating on that for a week or two as time permits.
