MAN.....those are simply gorgeous!

Do you turn those toggle beads yourself? They're a very nice touch!

Dano · « **Reply #2 on:** March 11, 2015, 10:06:16 AM »

Those are all great looking, and some great looking scales as well!

MnSportsman · « **Reply #3 on:** March 11, 2015, 10:27:11 AM »

Great looking file knives! You some fine workmanship!

I like the colors of the last two the best, but all are are pretty good lookers!

Thanks for sharing!

Your last bunch was great, these are as good or better. Wonderful design and workmanship.

Dan308 · « **Reply #5 on:** March 11, 2015, 12:17:43 PM »

thanks, these have some really choice pieces for handles. I do make the beads when there is enough materials left over. Bad thing is you skin up a lot of knuckles making them lol

That black ash kind of reminds me of popcorn

Wow! Awesome work!

How are you getting the gold logo on the blade?

trentu · « **Reply #7 on:** March 11, 2015, 01:02:39 PM »

Very nicely done!

pap11y · « **Reply #8 on:** March 11, 2015, 02:39:20 PM »

Very nice. I like the gold emblem on the dark blade..

Beautiful handle materials too..

Dan308 · « **Reply #9 on:** March 11, 2015, 03:08:50 PM »

I'm etching it in with a power supply from an old computer

OutdoorEnvy · « **Reply #10 on:** March 11, 2015, 03:11:15 PM »

wow those are great! I really like the simple curvy lines to them. They look really good Dan. I especially like the box elder and black ash

Fantastic! The scale material is superb. I love file knives.

Once again, very nice! I love file knives.

Moe M. · « **Reply #13 on:** March 13, 2015, 04:15:53 PM »

Beautiful, almost too nice to use.

Unzinators · « **Reply #14 on:** March 14, 2015, 01:56:55 PM »

What a talent! They are almost too nice to use!

Dan308 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 15, 2015, 08:32:00 AM »

these are all users! Here's another really nice piece of Afzelia

Justin Pierce · « **Reply #16 on:** March 15, 2015, 08:42:34 AM »

Those are beautiful!
The design, proportions, wood selection...... the whole works, they are great.

I wonder if one of those on my belt would make me classier?

Highlife · « **Reply #17 on:** March 15, 2015, 12:22:56 PM »

Agreed, very classic lines and beautiful craftsmanship.

Dan308 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 27, 2015, 08:13:23 AM »

Brown Mallee

Beautiful, Dan!

treez · « **Reply #20 on:** March 27, 2015, 01:17:01 PM »

Those look great!

Dan308 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 16, 2015, 02:36:01 PM »

This knife is 8 3/8 with a 3 3/4 inch blade. The wood is Stabilized Green Afzelia. It almost has a florescent look to it. As you move it in the light, you get a hologram effect. The yellow liners and the gold logo really set it off. The pictures don't even come close.

wsdstan · « **Reply #22 on:** April 16, 2015, 03:59:59 PM »

Impressive, to say the least.

wolfy · « **Reply #23 on:** April 16, 2015, 04:35:53 PM »

That's GORGEOUS!

If I were a John Deere man, I'd be snappin' that one up in a heartbeat!

Unknown · « **Reply #24 on:** April 16, 2015, 08:04:51 PM »

Looking closer I can see some Hamon like action going on. Does that mean the spines are softer? If so what do you think are the pros and cons of that?

Sarge · « **Reply #25 on:** April 16, 2015, 08:07:44 PM »

That's awesome, Dan! Nice work.

I usually do a hamon on my blades. So the cutting edge is harder than the spine. I think on a blade that's .200 thick and 3 1/2 inches long you aren't going to get any flex anyway. I just think it looks cool. Sometimes I polish out the hamon but I don't like shiny, high polished things. Check out my gallery of knives for more hamons www.dtknives.com

Unknown · « **Reply #27 on:** April 17, 2015, 01:45:38 AM »

Thanks Dan. I think it can serve a purpose when there is a hard edge, makes the blade a bit tougher maybe if you baton. but not well suited for strikin a ferro rod. Chews up the spine on a pretty knife. Yours look sweet as is rather obvious from the gorgeous pics!

MnSportsman · « **Reply #28 on:** April 17, 2015, 04:27:31 AM »

Very Nice! I bet it looks even better in hand than it does in the pics.

acara · « **Reply #29 on:** April 17, 2015, 06:25:01 AM »

The stabilized Green Afzeli is gorgeous ..nice work.

Dan308 · « **Reply #30 on:** May 07, 2015, 03:48:39 PM »

some Elk antler with copper guards

wolfy · « **Reply #31 on:** May 07, 2015, 04:21:53 PM »

VERY nice knife, Dan!

I especially like how you saved the 'Nicholson' stamp and the elk antler handle! Elk antler just 'ages' so gracefully.......ki nda' like me.

Dano · « **Reply #32 on:** May 07, 2015, 05:16:20 PM »

That is one awesome looking knife sir, just great looking all around!!

PetrifiedWood · « **Reply #33 on:** May 07, 2015, 06:22:17 PM »

Wow! I really like the copper!

And the file you used, if I am not mistaken it is one of those antique files used for auto body work back in the days when they filled dents with lead solder.

Really great work.

Sarge · « **Reply #34 on:** May 07, 2015, 08:48:51 PM »

I like the copper, too. Nice work!

GORGEOUS knife, Dan!

I love hunting knives.

Dan308 · « **Reply #37 on:** June 01, 2015, 02:28:53 PM »

actually that is a piece of linen micarta

wolfy · « **Reply #38 on:** June 01, 2015, 03:59:22 PM »

It's a beautiful complimentary accent to the stag no matter what it is.

MrFixIt · « **Reply #39 on:** June 02, 2015, 01:03:36 PM »

Outstanding!

Dan308 · « **Reply #40 on:** June 25, 2015, 01:11:21 PM »

Beautiful! Is the box elder knife still available. Love that yellow color
