Could you post a more detailed images of these knives to appreciate with more detail your work?

Re: More Knives

Yeah Rick, I'm with Callynne. Let us know if you want to start selling them. I'd love to have a nice hand made carving knife. Beautiful job.

Re: More Knives

Glad you like seeing my knives, but I make them in my spare time, so most end up going to carving shows for raffles.

I would be happy to show (in detail) the process of making one if anyone would be interested.

Re: More Knives

Rick
I for one would really like to see the process used for making knives if they can turn out like the ones you make. Thanks for offering and I am looking forward to seeing your post on this.

Re: More Knives

I know I will never, ever make a knife but I'd sure be interested in seeing how it's done! Callynne

Re: More Knives

I would definately like to see the whole process. Are there any special tools required to make these knives? I would love to make a couple for myself.

I sometimes wish that I had a certain shaped blade while I'm trying to carve something. It would be great to make one up rather than searching for something that may or may not exist!!

Re: More Knives

Very beautiful work Rick.
Looks like I need to spend more time on the handle when I make my next one. I usually spend hours shaping the blade and minutes on the handle.

Good whittlin, Cliff

Re: More Knives

Okay, I will start photographing the process of making an ebony handled carving knife with a 1-1/2 inch blade.
When finished, I will post it on Picturetrail with descriptions of the process.

Re: More Knives

I decided to make the handle from Maple burl because lines will not show up well on ebony.
