You should totally like my Facebook! Why you ask? So I can become super awesome, duh.

Oh and so you can have a chance to win some cool knives in November. Free stuff and me taking over the world? What's not to like about that?!?!


Venom:

I'll basically say the same thing I said on my facebook, because it was all true. I loved the onyx w/gold veined handle material. Although carving it was...not fun. I was thinking I would take a break from my normal full metal carving or all wood, as both have their own pros and cons when carving by hand. All of which are usually me cursing the walls around me.

Sadly, I found this handle material to be my new enemy. Looking back, I think I should have used a different type of handle material with this carving.

I like to think that my photography is getting better. But I attempted many times to capture the carving, but I really couldn't. I felt a little bad when sending this to Chuck, because I figured he would have a hard time as well. Well not nearly as hard of a time as I did, but you know.

As always, I do my best to match the damascus with the handle material. The gold veins rock, but they take away from the work I put into carving it. I didn't want them to stand out as much as my usual carving does, but you know how I am. I like to have my cake and eat it too.

I love cake.

Did you want to see a little bit of forging? No?? Me either, but! here it is anyway: [link]

Because you deserve to know he is giving away shirts and a knife! Who doesn't like free stuff? Terrorist, that's who! Plus I thought I would give you a preview of one of the people that I plan on becoming better than...in time.

At the moment his Facebook likes are 224, I know when they get 250, they are giving away a t-shirt. And~ I believe every 250 after that.

BUT! At 1,000 he is giving away a knife. [link]

He has been helping me to organize the advanced tutorials that I just honestly don't have time to do. I have been working on some basic/beginner tutorials. Which will be in written/pictorial form, plus a video. However, if you keep up with the videos that Jerry has been helping me with, then you will basically be getting lessons from Mastersmiths. And I couldn't be more happy to share his work as well as the others.

However, unlike me he has like a 7 year waiting list. And you guys thought waiting a few months on me was bad. His knives also go for about 100x the amount mine do though....

Regardless! Figured you guys would like to know and of course to let you know that I am still alive. Orders have me backed up too much to play and the Arkansas show is coming up.

The good news is this:

I have 5 of the best knives that are possibly the best of my work. All of them close to being finished. Onnne I should be finishing today. AND! One is a sword. Not one that you guys are use to seeing either.


Anyway! I miss you guys and after the next few weeks, I'll be able to breathe again and I'll be back. Then we will get back to taking over the world!!

So this really isn't a picture that I wanted to share, because I had hoped that I would get a high quality one. I've had this one for months, if you are a friend of mine on my Facebook then you would have wondered what I meant when I said I had made the heaviest knife in the world. Well this was it. I did it completely traditional in the beginning...but it literally weighed 5lbs.

So I slimmed it down a lot, did different carving and etching than I had originally planned. In the end I took the etch in the front off and sent the knife to the buyer. I had hoped to get a good quality picture by now, but it looks like that might not happen. I'm still going to try to get one though and then!! You will see how awesome this knife really is.

Also, thank you for everything. As with the last few months, I haven't been able to reply to messages/e-mails/calls, but hopefully I'll be back to my old ways soon enough. I do know that two knives I made some time ago are being photographed...finally. So I should get quality pictures of a bowie and a hunter next week. Not my best works, but at least it is something a little different.

Hope you are all doing well!

Kiridashi

OAL: 5 1/2"
Blade Length: 2"
Blade Material: 240 layers of 5160/15N20 Twist Damascus Pattern.
Handle Material: Fossil Coral


Good morning!

This one was harder to take a picture of than my recent ones have been. I thought I was actually getting better at taking photos, but then reality hit me once again.

I wanted to mix things up a little bit, since I've been doing a lot of tactical knives and Remnants.

Gotta keep you on your toes by spicing it up a little bit.

I hope you like the way it tastes.

Ceros
OAL: 10 1/4"
Blade: 1080
Handle: Snakewood

Basically my only hunting knife design. I would love to have this one and maybe my Orange Hunter as my two hunting knife models, but I'm not sure if I really want to do a whole lot of hunting knives. The guard on this one doesn't look exactly like my first Ceros and that is because it is actually damascus and it's a little bit thinner than the first.

I've had the knife finished for a long time now. Like...a looong time. I know it isn't exactly a ground breaking design or knife, but I don't really get to keep much of my work, so I've been holding on to this one. At least until I finish my next project.

Blue Crusader
OAL: 12 1/2"
Blade Length: 7 3/4"
Blade Material: Horseshoe Rasp
Handle Material: Blue/Black G-10

More images of it here: [link]

It's near the end of the post, but the stamp came out great. I was really happy with it. The most exciting part for me when using G-10 for the handle is matching it with paracord. I'm not sure why, but I love that little added piece.

I'm also a dork. >.>

Rogue
OAL: 12 1/2
Blade Length: 7 1/4"
Blade Material: 1080
Handle Material: Ebony

6 days until my dA and Facebook sweepstakes! I'll be posting the rules on the 31st of this month.

More angles of this knife here; [link]

When researching all the different varieties of Tracker and other WSK, I found 3 or 4 of them that had this type of blade, which I found to be rather appealing. I thought it would be a good blade to do some experiments on. I like to match the 1080 with the Ebony, when I use that for the handle.

Mainly, because 1080 is one of the few blade steels that I use that will turn black while being etched after being hardened and keeps a dark color even after polishing. It's one of the reasons I use it for my tantos. This time I wanted to focus only on that line, nothing above or below it. In the end I got a decent result, which makes the hamon look like a deep vein of sorts. It's not only visible, but has a sunken texture of its own, when touched.

I will be doing a few more large blades before diving into my higher grade works. I'll also be throwing a tutorial up in a few weeks, if everything goes right. And! I'm still making a list of tutorials to do in the future, so if you want to see something, then let me know and I'll try to make sure I do it.

A commissioned Rebar Tanto. I forged it out and made it based off my memory of the first one I did some time ago... then when I looked at the original, I realized I should have looked at it before making this one. lol.

The original:

It was much shorter and more curved than this one. My tantos have been changing a lot lately. Mainly, because I didn't plan on making many/any tantos in the first place.
