Looove your work. Would love to make my own stacked leather knife. Do you know of a kit similar to the above knife that a newb could acquire? I'd try doing from scratch but have no way of making the pommel/screw thing-a-ma-bobber...

Dan308 · « **Reply #151 on:** July 18, 2017, 08:42:38 PM »

I don't know of any kits to make this style. I guess you could press it all together and peen the tang as it comes through the cap?

something new to look at

Moose antler kind of reminds me of ivory. Damascus is USA made 416 layer. Stainless steel guard and spacers

Great looking handle I think.

SuhWEET!

Wow. I think you're ready for Forged in Fire. Too bad Photobucket ruined your earlier pics. Glad you had a link to FB.

Thanks, I got a few emails from them months ago. I'm not into drama so I really don't want to do the show. Heck, I'd rather do a show where someone would show me how to do things. I've got lots to learn.

CPM154 stainless steel hardened and Cryo'd to 60HRC. Stacked leather with brass guard and end cap. 10 3/8 OAL with a 5 inch blade. I like the way this blade is shaped. Wish I could get lucky and make another lol

wolfy · « **Reply #158 on:** September 18, 2017, 04:39:48 PM »

Shades of Harry Morseth in that one.

wsdstan · « **Reply #159 on:** September 18, 2017, 05:54:59 PM »

Beautiful knife and you're right, that blade shape is really nice. Thanks......

PetrifiedWood · « **Reply #160 on:** September 18, 2017, 09:17:09 PM »

Wow some great new additions since the last time I popped in here! Beautiful work! I really like the angled plunge line on the one with the stacked leather handle.

Dan308 · « **Reply #161 on:** November 01, 2017, 07:10:48 AM »

I made a new pattern and I really like the way it looks and feels in my hand.
Here's some Australian red mallee burl on damascus

This is Elk and S35Vn stainless steel

416 layer ADS Damascus with elk

This one is a nicholson file with box elder burl

Those are some fine looking knives!

wsdstan · « **Reply #163 on:** November 01, 2017, 08:44:54 AM »

Impressive. Good job with all of these.

wolfy · « **Reply #164 on:** November 01, 2017, 09:02:13 AM »

I really like this new pattern.

Dan308 · « **Reply #165 on:** December 22, 2017, 08:29:32 AM »

last knife for the year. Damascus and elk antler. The divot tool has mammoth ivory

wolfy · « **Reply #166 on:** December 22, 2017, 11:19:08 AM »

That divot tool looks like it could serve double duty in the field as the world's fanciest ferro-rod scraper, too.

Beautiful work.....on both counts!

wsdstan · « **Reply #167 on:** December 22, 2017, 04:37:52 PM »

That is the best looking divot tool I have ever seen. I would go around chopping up chunks of sod just to use it a lot. Nice stuff, as usual. Thanks.

Dan308 · « **Reply #168 on:** December 24, 2017, 11:41:39 AM »

I find myself looking to fix every ball mark on the green. I tried it yesterday, fixing divots with class

Dan308 · « **Reply #169 on:** February 09, 2018, 07:30:00 AM »

Here's my first of 2018. The wood is K&G stabilized box elder.

woodsorrel · « **Reply #170 on:** February 09, 2018, 07:50:21 AM »

Wow! Gorgeous!

I really like the lanyard bead. I have begun making custom firesteel handles. So I really appreciate the craftsmanship it takes to make something like that bead.

wsdstan · « **Reply #171 on:** February 09, 2018, 12:06:02 PM »

Great looking handle on that one and the lanyard bead is a beauty.

Thanks for posting these.

Dan308 · « **Reply #172 on:** March 01, 2018, 08:35:23 AM »

the beads do take a little time to make. I just hate to waste any of the wood

some new stuff to look at

imnukensc · « **Reply #173 on:** March 01, 2018, 09:22:17 AM »

As usual, very nice work!

lgm · « **Reply #174 on:** March 01, 2018, 11:00:18 AM »

Impresive as usual, you have a great eye for color.

Dan308 · « **Reply #175 on:** March 22, 2018, 06:23:21 AM »

here's a small knife made from A2 steel with elk antler

wolfy · « **Reply #176 on:** March 22, 2018, 05:17:01 PM »

I like that one, too!

wsdstan · « **Reply #177 on:** March 22, 2018, 08:07:14 PM »

Very good stuff.

Marta34 · « **Reply #178 on:** March 30, 2018, 05:34:35 AM »

Those are just fine workmanship... Gorgeous

Dan308 · « **Reply #179 on:** April 03, 2018, 09:02:55 AM »

Going to the Wanenmacher's Tulsa Arms Show. Anyone going to be there this weekend April 7th and 8th?

Dan308 · « **Reply #180 on:** May 13, 2018, 11:11:27 AM »

here's a tactical type knife I cobbled together. Not my style but I did the best I could. Damascus and G10 combo is purely a sin. After I make a kydex sheath, I may not recover
changed the screws out for titanium, looks better

imnukensc · « **Reply #181 on:** May 13, 2018, 11:27:09 AM »

Totally agree with your assessment! Not my style, either, but as usual, your workmanship is outstanding.

wsdstan · « **Reply #182 on:** May 13, 2018, 12:50:23 PM »

Not my style either but the blade is great and the workmanship on the handle is really excellent.

Dan308 · « **Reply #183 on:** July 04, 2018, 07:50:08 AM »

Been kind of a tough last six months. Medical problems and the big "C" in the family. But for all the knives I didn't get done here's a few I did manage to get done.

Some divot tools since I like to play golf

Dan308 · « **Reply #184 on:** September 10, 2018, 12:04:19 PM »

Cool little skinning knife I finished last week. The steel is 416 layer ADS damascus with a hollow grind. The bolsters are 440c stainless steel dovetailed to stabilized mammoth. Red liners and mosaic pins. Bead is the same. The OAL is 8 7/8 and the blade is 4 3/8.

And here's the sheath for this knife. Cow leather with deerskin lining and the inlay is water snake

Dan308 · « **Reply #185 on:** September 13, 2018, 06:54:54 AM »

Not my style but I finally got the sheath done for this TAC. You know, it is rocket science....the steel is 416 layer wave pattern damascus with baked on epoxy finish. G10 for the scales and purple liners OAL is 9 7/8 with a 4 3/4 blade

Dan308 · « **Reply #186 on:** September 24, 2018, 11:51:59 AM »

back to more traditional style knives. This one has natural elk with red liners.

Dan308 · « **Reply #187 on:** November 21, 2018, 07:11:27 AM »

here's a couple of new ones to look at.

Yeoman · « **Reply #188 on:** November 22, 2018, 11:05:20 PM »

The last one above looks like a really swank Grohman #3.
Nice job.

wsdstan · « **Reply #189 on:** November 23, 2018, 08:48:44 AM »

Nice work Dan, beautiful designs and materials.

marchone · « **Reply #190 on:** November 24, 2018, 07:15:27 PM »

Outstanding work.

Dan308 · « **Reply #191 on:** November 28, 2018, 08:09:24 AM »

thanks, I put a lot of thought and work into that elk / stingray package. I was pretty proud of that sheath because I don't like making them. Turned out nice though

Dan308 · « **Reply #192 on:** November 29, 2018, 02:36:16 PM »

Just a few finished today. Honduran Rosewood always looks great

Santoku with AEB-L stainless steel. Elk for the scales

Dan308 · « **Reply #193 on:** February 20, 2019, 08:42:24 AM »

I've been on a damascus thing lately. The first 2 are elk antler the 3rd is some of my best Honduran Rosewood Burl.

this is a little Caper/EDC that I etched a little differently. I took a 1/2 penny and dropper it into my ferric chloride. The copper in the solution attracts to the blade. I think it looks cool.

But what can I say about this? HRB always looks classy

Dan308 · « **Reply #194 on:** April 15, 2019, 07:50:42 AM »

here's a few I have finished. Getting ready for a show in Fort Worth the 27th and 28th. I'm making a few more to take there.

this one has mesquite burl
