Finally Finished Three 1084 Blades

[Eric Morgan]

Despite time to work on knives having been difficult to come by for a while now, I did manage to get these finished up yesterday. Well, they still need my maker’s mark but close enough lol.

 

All three are forged from 1084, have a stonewashed finish, and stainless pins. The handle scales are marbled jade micarta, black walnut, and zebrawood. 
 

I need to work on getting more of a distal taper in my forgings, or maybe get off my butt and finish my surface grinder attachment and do em that way lol

Very nice. You did a good job on those.

Handsome work.  Congratulations.

I love pronounced yelmans on blades so I'm a bit biased, but you did a great job on all three. I love the blade profile on the first, the handle shape and wood choice on the second, and it's hard to tell, but is the third the shortest of the three? It looks very convenient and handy.

Thanks! Yes, the last knife is the smallest of the lot. It's a 3-finger size handle for me, and will be going to my father-in-law to use for a hunting knife this season
