I'm big on bone and natural wood, so absolutely love the 2 on the left. But, those 2 acrylic, I'm guessing, on the right look pretty cool. Kinda need a close look. Great job all around though. Overall shape fits my style

The two on the right are the Kirinite that he mentioned in the op. It makes a nice set of scales and is some tough stuff.

They all look good to me.

Great work "D"!

I too like that style. Especially the two on the right.

Thanks guys. The two on the right that Mr. Conner mentioned as kirinite are for 2 retired AF Chiefs. Those are "Desert Camo". It's pretty easy to work with, requires no stabilizing, and finishes with the buffer to a high gloss, and not slippery.

The two in the middle are buffalo horn, and going to a father/son in Ohio. The buffalo is more work than the kirinite, but buffs out nicely.

Far left is antler and mesquite, headed to a co-worker in Illinois. The antler and ebony will probably be used as a Christmas present.

1 of the 3 that I need to finish should be a real nice knife, cocobolo with red liners and copper corbys. The other 2 are kitchen knives, with bois d'arc and mosaic pins.

Nice work! Do you buy the blade stock or forge those?

[Puggy625]

Looks really good. Like the background too. Lol

Nice. I'm finally back in the shop after an 8 year break! I started knives about 13 years ago and did a lot of them in 5 years then overtime and work led me to be unavailable. I started again about three weeks ago and am glad to be back at it. I cannot believe how much material costs have gone up though. I used to buy a bunch of blade blanks from Jantz and Texas knife makers. A few I used to pay $7-$10 a piece for are now at least double that!

[Razorback01]

The blade stock is flat bar stock, I.e. Using stock removal method. Someday I'll try forging.

First 2 out of the shop, took me long enough!

First one is going to a co-worker in Illinois, some 1084, texas mesquite, texas antler, a couple of nickel-silver pins and a plain tan sheath. He is a waterfowl hunter, wanted something to throw in his pack.

Second is also 1084, cocobolo with copper pins. I like this knife, plain antique black sheath. This will probably be a white elephant Christmas gift.

[Texas Grown]

That second one is sharp! No pun intended.
