I think “hawks”, hatchets, and axes not only count, but belong here! That’s a great looking little guy!

 

Beautiful folder! Do you know the maker?

 

I have a Gransfors Bruk hatchet as well. Shaving sharp.

@gosolo, I put your creation to good work today cutting a strip loin into steaks and stew meat. Worked like a charm.

 

Nice! I really like seeing it put to use.

 

I don't buy nice tools just let them sit and look pretty.

 

Benchmade Barrage - Auto/assist opening. Custom, Sv30 steel. Loving this knive, my 3rd BM, but not my last.

 

You should post pictures of it!

 

I make forks too, lol

 

Never really thought I would say this but,Nice Fork!

 

And spoons

 

I have no response to that.

 

So this is one of my favorites for some reason,its really nice to fidget with in meetings and on long drives too?!

 

What’s the blade length? Looks about
1 1/2”?

 

1 3/4" its a tiny beast.

Mine is a custom with flat slabs that are thicker than the standard too,he makes small batches of unique spec and I grabbed this one of 4 I think that he did.

I also have a "Beast" and it is pretty sweet too.

His story is pretty interesting too I recommend reading it if you have a minute.

 

I love this little knife! It makes me think about reconsidering making folders. I just don’t have the machine shop type of tooling.

 

I hear you I felt the same way when I discovered this guy.
Could not be a nicer guy and was a Dentist and somehow lost a Hand!?

So of course he became a Knife Maker and Machinist and has developed a loyal and broad following from the Military and Police guys who are looking for quality and custom that is affordable too,not something you see all that much.

So I almost bought something used of his but called him first instead and he sold me on one of his small custom run pieces and I could not be more happy with it or the Beast for that matter which I did buy second hand but then had him go over it too.

It is a different skill set I imagine in many ways but Quality is Quality no matter what we make I think.

 

Queen steel #98. Bought it when I was in Scouts around 1971. I have used and abused this thing for almost 50 years. After reading this thread I'm gonna look for a Kershaw Blur for a folding knife.

 

It reminds me a little bit of this one I made . 2” blade, 5 1/2” overall

 

So many blades,so little money!

 

Try kershawguy.com

He has a lot of decent prices and is constantly getting new inventory and I dont know anyone who wont do business with him again!

His site seems to be down right now but I am sure will be back,I am on his mail list and it is really tempting almost all the time.

 

I've never thought I would ever want a handmade spoon. Now I kind of want one...

 

Ray, That is a good looking blade. I am very pleased with it.
