Got'em Done
So I finished the knives that were shown in the previous posting and can post without giving away the puch line.
The top knife is the filet knife seen naked before. Now it has black micarta handles with nickel silver pins and a basic kydex sheath without a belt loop, made to throw in the tackle box. Uncle Dan was given this knife for his 75th birthday. Hope he catches a lot of fish and uses the heck out of this knife.
The next knife is my new EDC made of 52100 as seen in the last post. The kydex sheath can be set up in different ways, but for now I'm just using it as a neck knife. It has been around my neck every day since it was finished. Already it has helped skin a couple beavers besides cutting up some great steak and doing some regular knife chores.
Middle knife is a gift that was overdo. The psychedelic micarta looks cool and has a positive grip. This sheath was made just for wearing around the neck or throwing in a purse.
My wife's knife turned out well. With the burl handle it appears bigger than the skeletonized version below it. These have a minimalist kydex sheath. Something to just cover the blade. The bottom knife won't even have the sheath on in the Altoids Tin.
These turned out well and there's more coming up soon. My first show of the year is in less than three weeks. Have to get back to it so I can finish the ones on the bench. Wish me luck.
