A THR knife PICTURE thread?!?!

[JShirley]

Sam, your guards have definitely improved.

 

[Sam Cade]

Think so? They look even better when I don't hog them out with a 36 grit zirconia belt belt while smoking a cigar.
I'm petitioning the administrative body to have the downward slope of an integral guard be officially called the "Shirley Droop."



I'm kicking myself for not snapping a picture of the sibling knife of the one in post #795.:banghead: 1/2" circular choil with a tusk shaped Shirley Droop guard. Flats left as-is after heat treat. By far the best looking (though plain) knife I've made so far.

My apologies for the poor pictures.

Ivory Atkinson - distal taper, jimping, red liners, dovetailed bolster

[Sam Cade]

Yep

There is an Atkinson fighter making the rounds of the local knife-dorks here.
I haven't gotten to own it yet but I've had three different dudes reverently hand it to me with the caveat that it was "super shaaarp"

The Dangler was made by Cocajo Leather&Blades.
They have some cool designs

8670 and Damascus

Here are two knives I made. The top one is a Damascus sandwich made with two pieces of Damascus ( I made) forged to the sides of a piece of 8670 sawmill steel. I Have fond that this Cambrian work very well to getter. The other knife is made out of 8670. The handles are Brazilian redwood of the two designs I like the one with the guard.

Picked up a Bark River Bravo 1 and a Bushcrafter. Fond of both already...

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,

Thanks, Radagast, now this tune is stuck in my head for the rest of the week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwvazMc5EfE .

A few of my WWI & II knives along with a couple post war bayonets.

My newest acquisition.

 

[Vonderek]

 

[Sam Cade]

3" heavy duty EDC in 5/32" 1084.

Scales are heavily tapered and the tang is skeletonized.

POB is just behind the north end pin.

 

[Tony_the_tiger]

Just picked up my first Peanut!

Red bone and chrome vanadium steel.

 

[Sam Cade]

Pattern 8 EDC.

3 1/2" worth of edge.

Less drop in the grip and a bit shorter than the last one. Which was a Pattern 12. I think.

This one is in 1/8" (nominally) 15n20*.

*Soak. Soak. Soak. Soak. Not yet. A little more. Soak. Soak. Soak

I met Sam Cade at the ATKA NE Regional competition in Berwyn, PA this weekend. Had a fantastic time, met his two amazing sons, and I actually did well throwing knives and 'hawks this year - more than doubled my score since the last competition.

 

[Sam Cade]

You met the other Sam.
