Thanks!!

Here is another one, I made it at the same time as the one owned now by Rudi, it was reserved for a customer but he cannot purchase it now due to health issues.
So its available again

Height 30mm (1.2"), peak to peak height 35mm (1.4")
Jacarandá de Bolivia wood, 2mm alpaca pins.
CNC embossed sheat, sewn and finished by hand

Verifying its sharpness

Clean again, and now tested!

Here is a photo next to the one I made for Rudi:

Re: I'm more into knifes lately

I know that these are just your personal blades but can I get a price point please. That looks like one serious bush crafting blade. I just want to know how much I have to save up to get something of that quality.

New one again in Bohler K110 (D2), when I took the pictures energy went out at my office and had to wait until next day for applying the makers mark and steel on the back.

(This one is still available, and thats dirt on the blade )

Re: I'm more into knifes lately

I've been having the sane blade obsession lately too. Picked up some vintage cold steel tanto, and two shinken style katana. As well as some beautiful hard Arkansas stones.

Top= Ronin "Hagakure"
Bottom = Cold Steel Warrior Katana

.

6x2x1 for $68

1980 First design for the tanto blade markings.

The knives above are beautiful. I'd definitely love to own one or 5

Re: I'm more into knifes lately

Saving good ol' steel from the scrapyard. The file was softened, taken to final shape and then properly heat treated for knife use

Re: I'm more into knifes lately

Beautiful!

What options, steels, configurations are you offering? Besides this thread, do you have a more formal ordering process?

 

[PEU]

Re: I'm more into knifes lately

Hola Will, Thanks again!

I do not have a catalog, but I have a photo gallery of most of the knives I made in my signature.
Same as flashlights, making knives is a hobby that generates money every now and then, so if someone wants a knife, the doors are open to almost any decent design, the best way is to send me an email (pablou @ gmail) or contact me via facebook and we go from there.

Regarding steels Im limited to what I've imported from USA (cpm s35vn and cpm 154cm) and what can be sourced here:
High Carbon: 1070/1095/5160/W1/O2/D2/
Stainless: 420/N678
Damascus: Ladder or random pattern is what I have now, but there are excellent damascus makers here where I can source if needed

From all of these I prefer by far D2 (Bohler K110) and next O2 (Bohler K720)

As a price example since this is not a sales thread, the last knife I posted was sold for $230 with its hand made sheat.

Re: I'm more into knifes lately

Awesome - thanks. Very, very reasonable.

And I hear you loud and clear about the "hobby that generates money now and then" - that is how I do my machining work, the DE Titanium handles, etc.. It is the only hobby I ever had that partially helps to pay for the hobby
