Robert D. 105 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 This one would qualify as my best. The buyer of this one, ordered 5 more exactly like it for family members because they liked it so much. Worked fast and hard, got em all done on Christmas Eve so the buyer could give them as gifts to their family. I didnt have time to snap a pic of the 5. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Gilbert McCann 69 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Well I finished 8 knives, started quite a few more and I'm waiting for plumbing parts for a press build. Probably my favorite (first try) is a multi bar twist and stop I hope it counts, blade is about done handle isn't. I have improvements to make, but I like the patterns and variations you can make. Next are a San mai chef,a frame handle Bowie with a 10 + inch blade, probably with my best file work to date and a Mosaic chef knife. 2021 more complex Damascus. 8 Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter-Paul Derks 210 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 This is the best knife I've finished this year, I am really happy with this one. This damascus knife was finished early in the year, I have been working on a personal passion project for quite a few months now, but commission work and life keeps getting in the way. The project knife is going to be awesome as well but It still needs some extra time. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

clint c 132 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I made a few I am proud of, these two most recently - one from canister damascus of scrap pieces and 1084 powder, the other of a billet of feather I made this year. Elk antler on both, the drop point having stabilized spalted maple spacer and the clip point african blackwood spacer. There is some awesome work in this thread....Clint 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Gerhard Gerber 353 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I will mention my first folder that squeaked across the line on old years day, but I won't dare post a photo in such esteemed company Artists and masters of the craft, this noob salutes you! Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew W 55 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 My favorite from 2020. Bloomery steel blade with cattle horn handle. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jaron Martindale 29 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Highlights from 2020 were definitely an Ironwood Puuko and a commissioned Karambit I did in the later months. The Puukko, being my first hidden tang and multi-piece handle construction, was a wringer of learning, but so so rewarding to see it all come together. I also loved getting the opportunity to work on something that felt a little more "tactical" which was the Karambit a local LEO commissioned. First time working with 80CrV2, but definitely won't be the last! Also, sharpening these guys is a bugger, lol! (sorry for the horrid pictures) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
