#1759 Drop Point Hunter NEW
This 7.5" knife is hollow ground from a machinist file. The handle is from an oak root that a plow uprooted and brought to the surface. I noticed it as I came out from my hunting blind in Wild Rose WI. The next day I brought a saw and cut a small piece off and found the gorgeous swirls and spalting. I sent pieces to Arizona to have it stabilized. I think there is only one other piece left in my shop but it is very cool.
#1765 Mammoth Damascus Drop Point NEW
A pretty 7.5" knife with a blade of forged 15n20/1084 raindrop pattern damascus. The handle is wooly mammoth tusk. The unique brown and whites are a product of using the exterior (bark) part of the tusk that picks up mineral coloration from being buried for thousand of years underground. The sheath is cowhide with n inset of ray skin. A great package.

#1751 Amboyna Burl Tanto NEW
This 12.5" tanto is hollow ground from a mill file and has a handle of Amboyna burl. It has brass pins and a nice brown cowhide sheath. Typically tantos do not have a finger groove but I feel it helps prevent one's hand from sliding into the blade. A unique knife that locks into your hand. I believe It is the longest tango that I have made to date.
