Got my trophies from South Africa last week.

Have started to make knife sheets with it just because I was qurious to se what it would look like!
Had some full tang knives I made this spring who were missing their "clothes"!

Wow these are spectacular. I've been trying to get into forging lately but just don't have the tools needed and my forge looks like its from mad max always seem to melt my steel in it, best I've done was just cutting out the shape then heat treating it. Hope to get to this level some day.
 
how much for the bottom knife,the upside down one? great work as usual.

I don't make the blades myselves.
Most knife makers don't over here.

Bought a blade with a strange shape that I never seen before.
Couldn't figure out the mening of the point of the blade.
After some internet research I found out the point of that point................:)
Made a handle of moose antlers and birch bark.

The idea with the hook at the point of the blade is for lifting the coffeepot out of the fire.
 
Peter, what is the last odd blade for? It appears to be sharpened on the top of the blade.
 
It's a belly opener. Also works for fish.
Good for the first cut when skinning also.
 
state of the art as usual.
 
Not sure about some of the blades but those handles are some of the most beautiful ive ever seen awesome work congratulations
