Looks stabby and well done. clint

Thanks fellas. I have no idea a knife I made could actually be in an “inspiration folder”! Clint

Made this one a few months ago. Blade is 10" and forged to shape from a billet I made with a centre core of 80CRV2 and 15N20/1084 mix. Guard is stainless, handle is African blackwood, pommel is low layer damascus. Thanks for looking. Clint

I really dig the steel sheath retention bail on that sheath! NIce work on the knife as well. Clint

Thanks Gents. I lost a nice Benchmade with a clip, but I blame that on my own stupidity, overall I think they are a pretty good carry alternative for most applications. Clint

I know this is a place of forged steel and old world craftsmanship, but I started these a looong time ago and went astray many times before finally finishing them recently. Blades are ground from CPM154, acid etched and thrown in a tumbler with gravel. Handles G10, liners titanium, clips carbon fiber. I don't think I appreciated well made commercial folders like Benchmade and ZT etc. enough but do now, I know I can't make a folder as precise and as well for the money! But frustration can make us better! I think... Clint

Alan stole my words, that long clip is sweet! Great package in your signature style. Clint

Nice work Cal, beautiful as usual. Clint

Thanks for the positive comments guys. After looking at the pics, i realized i didn’t do a very good job cleaning buffing compound off prior! I get exited when one is finally finished! Clint

Howdy, finished this up today and figured I would show it off. 4" blade of 1084/15n20 200 layers with a core of 1084. Handle is elk tine that feels just right. Guard is stainless with red fiber spacers for a bit of contrast. Really digging all the great work I have been seeing here, has provided some inspiration. Thanks for looking, Clint

I’ve only watched one episode of that show, but I’m thinking this is exactly the type of blade that would be a winner! Fantastic creation, really admired the original Fogg version and this looks like it would be a phenomenal performer.

I can understand where those not fond of the guard are coming from and see what you mean. It was a design choice that appeals to some and not others, like a lot of stuff we make! I take no offence to anyone saying it doesn’t appeal and appreciate your input and comments, gives food for thought on future designs. Clint

Super classy, love that edge pattern.

Thanks Gents, appreciate the positive feedback. Clint

Have been seeing some very nice work here lately and was inspired to post a recent one of mine also. 5 1/2" blade of random pattern 1084/15n20, approx 200 layers, don't recall actual count anymore! Guard is stainless, spacer approx 75 layers, handle African Blackwood, which I really like - not near as prone to cracking as ebony and super hard/dense. Thanks for looking, Clint
