Just made this one and it's about as tactical as I can get. I like the older style but this one is growing on me. 9 inches long with a 4 inch blade. Stabilized Amboyna and blaze orange G-10 spacers with a thin black liner.

Box elder on this one

Your knives look fantastic. Thanks for posting.

I agree, Creek......there hasn't been a one yet that I wouldn't be proud to own!

Dan308 · « **Reply #55 on:** August 24, 2015, 09:57:12 PM »

thanks, this one was going to have mammoth ivory on it but I changed to the box elder at the last minute. This is a slightly larger knife than my others. Really beefy .210 at the spine

Unzinators · « **Reply #56 on:** August 25, 2015, 10:27:52 AM »

Wow! Another great job! I love the lighter color! One of these days I'll be picking one up of the wife! She loves mine!

Dan308 · « **Reply #57 on:** August 26, 2015, 11:26:46 PM »

here's one with Box elder burl

Brilliant work Dan. Those are definitely some keepers you have there.

Dan308 · « **Reply #59 on:** September 21, 2015, 11:29:06 PM »

This is Buckeye Burl. The steel is a 110+ year old Arcade file

thanks, here's one made with S30v steel. The handle is elk that I shot years ago.

I need to pop in here more often! Beautiful knives! That Honduran Rosewood one is just gorgeous!

wsdstan · « **Reply #67 on:** December 04, 2015, 10:04:40 AM »

I finally went to Dan's website to look around. Worth the trip.

Dan308 · « **Reply #68 on:** December 07, 2015, 09:37:31 PM »

yep that Honduran is really cool. Buffs up nice and has good figure to it.

Sarge · « **Reply #69 on:** December 08, 2015, 09:49:18 PM »

I like them all but the "as tactical as I can get" is one if my favorites.

how about this fillet knife. Cocobolo is the handle and the steel is CPM154 hardened to RHC 59

gmusic · « **Reply #71 on:** January 28, 2016, 09:34:25 PM »

Outstanding work Dan!!

Can't wait to see more.............

Dan308 · « **Reply #72 on:** February 01, 2016, 08:38:53 AM »

here's a fillet knife made from CPM 154 stainless

MrFixIt · « **Reply #73 on:** February 01, 2016, 11:56:37 AM »

I would be afraid to use any one of those...works of art I must say!
Thanks for sharing!

All of your knives are beautiful, but I love that fillet knife, just gorgeous.

Nice work! Thanks for sharing pics of your skills!

Dan308 · « **Reply #77 on:** February 27, 2016, 08:03:56 AM »

I've been working on some damascus steel. This one has box elder scales

Sarge · « **Reply #78 on:** February 27, 2016, 08:59:28 AM »

Awesome!

wsdstan · « **Reply #79 on:** February 28, 2016, 03:07:14 PM »

Nice one. Great pattern on the steel and that wood just "pops"

Dan308 · « **Reply #80 on:** February 28, 2016, 07:17:25 PM »

thanks, the hard part was finding something that didn't clash with the pattern of the blade.

Dan308 · « **Reply #81 on:** March 15, 2016, 09:05:16 AM »

messing around with some damascus lately.

Quenchcrack · « **Reply #82 on:** March 15, 2016, 09:20:24 AM »

Beautiful work, sir! I like your PW steel and the attention to details, like the dovetail on the grips.

kaweah river · « **Reply #83 on:** March 15, 2016, 10:55:59 AM »

Very, Very Nice!!!!

Wow just jaw dropping wow. Those are the best looking knives i have ever seen in my life. How much would a new one cost?

Dan308 · « **Reply #90 on:** March 24, 2016, 09:19:16 AM »

with all the time and materials that go into them, sorry to say they ain't cheap. But they are affordable. I guarantee each one whether you're prying the lid off a tank or your wife runs it through the dishwasher. Check out my FaceBook page or the website or even just call me to shoot the bull! I got nothing to do all day lol

This one is box elder. The blade has a cool little hamon line going through it

Dan308 · « **Reply #91 on:** May 05, 2016, 08:35:14 AM »

some things I've been working on

Dan308 · « **Reply #92 on:** May 20, 2016, 09:14:48 AM »

here's another I just finished. The box elder is a little "busy" for the damascus but still looks ok.

OutdoorEnvy · « **Reply #93 on:** May 20, 2016, 10:06:54 AM »

Wow! Those look great. Nicely done! I really like that yellow handled one and the fillet style knife. very cool

Binalith · « **Reply #94 on:** May 20, 2016, 07:13:03 PM »

woah! i just flipped through the whole thread, absolutely awesome man! I was wondering if you might be persuaded to do a tutorial on your file tempering process, I just had a failure about a week ago and have been feeling pretty discouraged. I really want to get back at it.

Dan308 · « **Reply #95 on:** May 24, 2016, 06:35:45 PM »

I just normalize 3 times and ramp to 1550 degrees hold for a few minutes then oil quench. Tempering is 400 for 2 hours

How about this elk antler?

wolfy · « **Reply #96 on:** May 24, 2016, 07:53:56 PM »

You hit the nail squarely on the head with that one, Dan!

wsdstan · « **Reply #97 on:** May 24, 2016, 08:34:07 PM »

Yep! That is a very nice knife.

Sarge · « **Reply #98 on:** May 24, 2016, 08:56:00 PM »

Nice, Dan! You keep knocking them out of the park.

thanks, It takes me a lot of time to make this type of knife. What seems to take the most time is picking the right handles that go with the blades. I have to sit and think about it for a while
