A couple of mine

I'm not quite good enough yet to actually call these customs, but what the heck.
I finished these two up last night, started them on friday. Biggun' is for my dads B-day tommorow its 8" OAL with desert ironwood. The other has mesquite, a scaled down version with a palm knife style handle, feels pretty good it's 7" oal. I have a drop point similar to the small one out in the shop, just need to get the ironwood epoxied on it, ran out last night

also, in the last pic is an idea for marking them what do you think?

WOW, I really admire people that can make knives!!! I like the lines on those, and the handles are beautiful.

I like the design

As for the makers mark, well, I still use a plain-ole hand engraver. I always find better places for the money

thanks all. I used a dremel and an engraving bit, However I see plenty of room for improvement, I don't have that steady of a hand.

Thanks for the comments. I have decided to sell both of them, I made another and my dad liked it better so he traded me the ironwood one back for the other. They are $75 each. Flatground, carbon steel, I think the rest of the specs are up top, if not email me and I'd be happy to answer any questions.
