First one up is my interpretation of a Randall Model 8, old style. Made from CPM-154 stainless. Nickle silver guard and buttcap. Handle comes from an elk shed I found last year in NM while hunting. Hair splitting sharp.
Next is a pretty satin finish hunter with a synthetic ivory handle. This ivory substitute is the best I've seen and is relatively new on the market, used mostly by scrimshaw artists. It has "grain" like real ivory and also yellows with age. CPM-154 stainless. Like the others, its also shaving sharp.
This one is one I forged from 1084 carbon steel. It has Nickle silver guard and buttcap with an Amberstag elk antler handle. It took an outstanding edge and retains its sharpness well in testing.
Last is a file knife from an old Swiss rasp with a unique pattern to the file. It was my only file from Switzerland at this time. It heat treated and tempered very well and is sharp as can be. Nickle silver guard and buttcap, India stag handle.
Thanks so much for looking!
