    This mornings work (Knives)

    I've been spending so much time with my archery, building arrows, tuning my trad bows, shooing and getting ready for hunting season I haven't done much shop work. I made six blades Saturday and this morning I thought I'd finish them up, I kept he sixth one for myself. It's not in this picture.



    I made this one for myself; I'm going to call it the Patriot for all my Viet Nam Brothers that went through the 1968 Tet Offensive! Red, White and Blue liners.

      Those are amazing, Bob!





      I want to commission you to build one for Pop (I think for his 65th b-day) and it would mean a lot to use some local materials, and a builder he knows will add to it's value to him. I'll be in touch with my idea. We've got a year, so it's not a huge rush.

        Dog gone Dan's getting old...I turn 65 this Saturday. Just let me know brother, it'd be my pleasure. We need more dad's like Dan, we' sure have a whole lot less trouble in the world.

          Happy early birthday!

          Yup, Pop is getting so old he farts dust, and I gotta keep an eye on him lest he break a hip!

                  All of them are except the patriot at the bottom. Hopefully I get the sheaths made and then I'll post them on the classifieds. This is a crappy picture of them.

                        All those are 1084; heat treated in an oven and tempered to 58-59rc. I've been a knife maker over 20 years. I own Jank Custom Knives, found on the web.
