All About Pocket Knives

It's been pointed out to me that I have been absent for a while now. ....so I thought to show why..

I see this new method of posting pics is taking forever, so I will add in bits and pieces....

Smoke -- I really like the one in the first picture.

And some pocket knives, just to stay on topic...

Thanks Jerry - it is my take on the Bird and Trout knife - in a similar style to what Randall does..

A few more:

I have a Randall Model 8 Trout & Bird but it doesn't look nearly as nice as yours.

The folders look very good too.

Absolutely fine work!!

Thank you Jerry - that is one of the nicest compliments I have had!!

Thanks Buck, much appreciated

A few more:

Really nice work Willem, you have definately upped your game!!!

Oh, don't worry about posting fixed blades, it it goes CUT it is welcome on AAPK, especially when they are a beautiful as those!!

Welcome back!

Dale, thank you for the kind words and the welcome back - I will try and make a point of popping in at least once a week or so from now on. Time has been an issue but will hopefully ease up a bit from now on - I have really missed AAPK and the people here - it is without a doubt one of the friendliest forums on the net As to upping the game - I try to, all the time, sometimes smaller steps, sometimes bigger ones - gearing up for another notch up at the moment - in time it will get to where I want to be As to the fixed blades, I will post up a few from time to time but at the moment I am doing folders probably 90+% of the time. I am adding a fixed blade here that was my wife's particular favorite - she chose the combination of materials - I call it the "Ndebele knife" after an indigenous tribe that is well known for their colorful bead work and the way the decorate their houses.

Royal, thank you - I appreciate As to the clip and lanyard - that is what I call a watch pocket knife - it is a little friction folder and while it is chunky, the blade is only 2" long (see pics below for size) - so the clip is to facilitate tip down carry, as behooves a friction folder, and the lanyard is to supply a little extra "grip" at the back of the handle.

Dale is right. Your work is really excellent!

Great all around eye for design and finish.

Nice knives--really like what you're doin with the different handle materials

Sheesh, no info on where to buy??

Absolutely gorgeous!

Thank you all gentlemen, I really appreciate the kind words

Jody, being a one man show puts a bit of strain on my time, what with production, trying to improve all the time, new designs, admin, packaging and posting etc - so my website is still under construction. All the knives I showed here were made for specific clients on order - 95%+ of what I do is on order - in between I might do a one of design that takes my fancy or that I'd like to see what it looks like. Best it to PM or mail me with any specific knife you might be interested in, and we can take it from there

A few more: (the last one is just a bit of messing around with polishing )
