custom knife pic's

[gmerrell]

I'm a disabled war vet from the first gulf war and this is how I keep from going crazy.
This is my first bowie it's made from W2 tool steel and started out as a 1" round rod. The line in the blade is the temper line below is hard above is softer. Should have made the hard part bigger on this one.


This is a camp or small hunter with a damascus bolster again made of W2 tool steel.


This is a hunter with stag handle made from 52100 ball bearing steel. It started out as a 2" diameter roller bearing.


This was one of a matched pair that I made for the friends of the NRA fund raiser. This one is a "M" pattern damascus with an elk handle, the other one was a plane blade out of 52100. The idea was you could have one as a show piece the other as a using knife. They sold for close to $1000 for the pair all money going to the NRA.


This is the sister to a knife I gave to a neighbors son who is heading to Afghanistan soon, it's D2 tool steel and the only knife hear that is stock removal instead of forged. The knife I made for the soldier had a Micarta handle not cord wrapped like this one.


Anyone wanting to talk knife making please PM me. I also make all of my sheaths
more pic's to come in the future.
thanks

Those are sweet blades, love the damascus pattern. Thanks for your service.

Once you get your 30 day probation over you might think about putting some of your work in the trading post.

Nice to see your work again!
If I'm ever heading up that way I just might pm you before I go for a lesson or two

Love that stag handled damascus !!!! Well done and thanks for sharing.

I like this one. I'm really curious how you made this out of a bearing. I assume you used the race and flattened it out somehow?

Great looking knifes.

Dang Gmerrel ! So that is how that hunk of metal you were folding ended up. My favorite has to be that camp/hunter with the damascus bolster. Excellent work!
