I have not been around much lately, mainly due to time constraints, i.e working my butt off :lol: But I thought to share some of what I have been up to with you gentlemen. A medley:

A big Ranger with some gimping:

Image

A rebuild on a Spyderco Native:

Image

Image

Image

Spear point slip joint:

Image

Image

Spear point Friction Folder, with gimping and nail nick:

Image

Image

The Smaller Ranger 75:

Image

Image

Friction Folder with an adapted wharncliffe design, that I call the "bullfrog" :

Image

Image

A broad sword:

Image

Image

My 11 year old son holding it for scale:

Image

Couple more Friction Folders

Image

Bird and trout, from an old file:

Image

Image

Image

Image

My interpretation of the first Bird and Trout that Mr. Bo Randall made for his friend Litch Steinman in 1946 and is currently known as their No 8 knife, although it is much different in design. It is the top knife in the pic:
Image


And my interpretation of it:
Image

Image

Image

Image

Another Randall inspired Bird and Trout:

Image

Image

Image

A dagger:

Image

Image

Image

And a small, 3.5" blade drop point hunter. Handle is micarta, leather and warthog tusk

Image

Image

Image

Next to a Buck 110 for scale - not a very big knife - chunky, yes, but quite a usefull EDC size:
Image

Thank you for looking :D
