A couple of recent blades

[godogs57]

First one utilizes an ancient file and an Amberstag handle from an elk shed I picked up while hunting in NM. Took a great heat treat and temper. Second knife is a model I call Dan’s Hunter . It has a CPM154 stainless steel blade and a killer maple handle . Both blades scary sharp and ready to go to work. Thanks for looking!

Aw Man, if I didn`t have the near twin to the top one.....

Very nice, Hank.

Holy mother of pearl… that top one will catch your eye. #2 is beautiful. Nicely done.

I'd go broke buying everything you make that I like. Great knives as usual.

 

[Railroader]

You gotta have one of Hank's knives in hand to truly see just how nice his work is...

 

[Para Bellum]

Absolutely beautiful.

 

[walkinboss01]

Really like both of them, but that top one is smoking….

You are right.

The waiting part is killing me.

 

[Nicodemus]

I`ll tell you, those knives Hank makes from old files, well, they are something special.

 

[godogs57]

You are right.

The waiting part is killing me.

Killing me too. Right now my shop is 100-105 degrees! Getting em out as fast as I can while maintaining the quality standards that I hold myself to.

I appreciate you and hope you didn't take that comment as pesky.

Work at your own pace, I will survive and appreciate it even more when I can get my grubby hands on it.

Drink lots of water, work safe and keep the fans blowing.

 

[Mexican Squealer]

Amazing work!

Those are some immaculate looking knives.
