Gregory Lirot Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 The first one, hands down is my favorite. It is a nice simple shape and the hammon looks superb and the handle wood compliments the style well. It has enough grain to be of interest, but is still simple enough to be classy. Plus it seems to balance the hammon, activity wise. "I have surprised myself with what I can make with simple tools when a definite need arose. I don't think a man knows what he actually can do until he is challenged."- Dick Proennke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Gdula Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Andrew, your work has leapt forward exponentially. I really like most of it, and even the pieces that aren't to my taste are perfectly executed. All the hamon look good, and the two billet piece second from the bottom is very interesting; is that a low count twist over a random, or just two randoms at different angles?

As for the knife if you mean the ebony handeled one 2nd from bottom, it is a 2-bar billet of very low layer twist, w1 and n200. Then it has a welded on tool steel edge of w1 thanks again Visit My Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg C. Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) I died of boredom looking at these . I like the top one, the bottom one, the damascus one and every one in between! Sweet! Love them, especially the 6th one from the top. Dark and hard to see until it's an inch from your vitals. Same goes for #8 and #13. Greg Edited December 6, 2010 by Greg C.
