After a long hiatus of moving and trying to get the new farm up and running, I finally got the new shop partially set up and started making some knives. Took three years but hopefully will be steady now. Thought I would post a few of my favorites from this set. I kept a log of hours on this set of 15 knives and was amazed how long it takes me to make the Damascus, make the mokume, make the pins, stabilize the wood and then make the blades. Now its on to sheaths. Apologies for the poor photography, all of the knives are coated with gun grease so sometimes looks like scratches on bolsters etc. The copper in the mokume should darken over time and make the pattern much more obvious. The woods used are ebony, bocote, buckeye, mesquite, laurel, wenge and mahogany. All of the Damascus is 1095 and 15N20. I have been making some long Damascus billits (up to 6 feet). If anyone interested in seeing those let me know. I resized images and hopefully have them attached correctly. Not sure if its better to insert into post or leave as attachments Thanks Matt

If anyone is interested I have some pieces of spalted black line pecan wood and spalted Black line maple along with some stabilized red cedar

my name is Aaron Breda 19yo. , i normally make custom gunparts but i have recently found a passion for knife making. this is the first knife i have made with the intention to sell, its a fixed blade, Damascus,Tanto style blade with box elder burl stabilized and dyed wooden handles. the blade was etched and then slighly polished. knife also has file work down the spine of the blade all the way down to the hilt. this knife is handmade im not sure on a price since i have never sold a knife that i have made, but it is the only one on the planet and i do not plan on making another with the same design. so i guess ill auction her off , starting bid 100$
