Show us your one off hand made knives.

I only have one that qualifies:


(My apologies for the poor photo)

I made it using an old wrench shank, and the handle is an antler shed I found. Butt-cap is a cut down 45-70 case. It holds a wicked sharp edge, too. I call it the "Ozark Squirrel Skinner", but it's roughly the same size blade as a Case Sodbuster. Have a couple others I've made but no photos available.

This was a big heavy chuck of 8670, but my knife guy made it into something beautiful for me last year. He called it the "Capt America". If you look at the mosaic center pin, you'll know why...

I forged this little straight out of a piece of 15n20 steel.

I’ve posted these in the past so forgive me but I’ll put them in again for any newcomers.
“Mad Poet Camp Set” made for me by the late Mel Sorg jr D2 steel (heat treated by Paul bos) desert ironwood. 4.5” deep semi skinner and 3” caper. Sheath by Mel sorg also.

I talked to Mel about a 2 knife set that would handle all the knife chores in a remote elk or deer camp. We worked together back and forth on the design and he made it work. The angle on this pic of the semi skinner doesn't accurately show how deep the blade belly profile really is and no pic can illustrate how well they fit my hands and cut with so little effort. (The handles are generously sized to fit my big paws) i have used them on elk antelope and deer. Too many to count!

All the knives I make or made out of recycled or scrounged materials. Here is some eye candy.
