Haven't had much free time the last few years. Moved to a new state (NC) and built a home. Also have two little ones to spend time with. I finally convinced my mom to leave NJ and join us here. She's been helping out a ton and it's given me time to make a few knives. Hope y'all like 'em. (http://[img]http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr116/angeldhunter/image_zpsojjohxvk.jpg)[/IMG]

Skinner with African Blackwood, black liners and micarta pins.
Nessmuk Hunter with homemade burlap micarta, orange and black liners, and micarta pin.
Bird & trout with Bird's Eye Maple, black liners and black micarta pins.
This one just needs another few coats of tung oil and final edge. It's a Nessy with Spalted Maple, black liners and micarta pins.
