More cuttin tools

[godogs57]

Been awfully busy with critterin’ lately but still knocking out blades this last month. Here’s a few just completed.

Here’s my Little Cutie model. Tiny little bugger. CPM154 stainless and stabilized burl maple. I have a number of these out west and a few around here.

I sincerely love working with file knives. This one I fell in love with instantly. Made from a vintage Nicholson file in an interesting pattern . This is only the second or third I’ve seen like this and it turned out gorgeous. The file pattern shows through the handle which always looks unique! The handle material is exhibition grade Gidgee wood from Australia. She’s homeless at this time…haven’t shown it to anyone.




Basic Hunter model with a one of a kind vintage Micarta handle. This emerald green color is unobtainable now. I have some of the last pieces of this vintage Micarta in my stash. It makes a gorgeous blade. CPM154 stainless again.


A Personal Hunter model in CPM154 stainless and Siam Rosewood handles. This wood is unreal in sunlight. Hard to find and on the expensive side. But Lord what a beautiful handle material.


Thanks for looking folks. I’ll post more later on.

Yeah, I know. That Micarta handle has got me thinking.

Hank is currently making my 4th knife from him. That green micarta one can be number 5 if it is not spoken for.

It went to Oregon. But I have a few more pieces of that Micarta. It’s not cheap though.

Beautiful, as always!

Is the rosewood hard to work ? Looks like it has grain going every direction.

Thanks for sharing!

Not bad at all. Smells good too while working it.

Them things are beautiful..
But I knew they would be before I clicked on the thread. I just EXPECT it now.

I'm kinda partial to the file knives as well. I see folks messing them up on YouTube all the time.
(the file heat treat I'm talking about)

Hank, I'm going to call you soon. Could you have me one ready before Christmas?

Y’all can’t imagine how pretty it is sitting in your hand. That green is something else.

It got gone quick. It was a pretty long file and I still have enough left over to make another blade. Considering my options right now.

I found two more of the old horse hoof rasps in my barn. If you`re home Monday afternoon I`ll holler at you first and swing by and give em to you.
