Gday all, just thought I would start a thread for just my knives, I have finished the sheaths for the skinners, they came out quite nice, built simple and robust, and the knives stay in well too. I also finished a bowie recently for a mates upcoming birthday next month.
Cheers Sean.

Very nice Sean

Cheers guys.

you are a talented little devil arn't you Very nice!

very nice....

Handcrafted knives like these have a fantastic visual appeal - beautiful work Sean! I love the simple, functional appearance of the walnut one.

Thanks fellas, nah Bob just plenty of practice always had a tool in me hands since I was a little tacker.

I really like the first one, bloody nice.
I renew this comment!... http://www.ozbow.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.p ... 75#p148975

cheers Nephew. I think the first knife is a very versatile blade shape.

Excellent knifes.On the second knife deep dredging for the first finger confuses.

Thanks Zega, it was put there more for looks than anything, but you can slide your thumb up into it for extra blade control and it feels quite comfortable used like that also.
Cheers Sean.

Gday all, I have some 4" drop points I am working on at the moment, the handle on these are all going to be Aussie timbers, and another 3 skinners to come in Aussie timber too. No sheath as yet but I just had to share it, I really like this one so it will be joining me on out on a few hunts soon to come,
Thanks for looking, Cheers Sean.

The timber is Birdseye Aussie red gum, a new favourite of mine.
Blade is 5mm 1084 carbon steel, with tapered full tang.
More photos to come when the sheath is finished.

I really like the blade shape on this latest one Sean.

Jeff

I like that one too mate,you big tease

Thanks Rod, will have another done tomorrow hopefully, in Aussie myall without the filework on the spine, should be a nice one.
Cheers Sean.

Cheers Sean.

Cheers Sean.

Good solid and functional knives Sean, I like your style of knife a lot. Well done mate.

Cheers…. Rod

that birdseye red gum almost looks like lacy she oak.

Thanks Rod.

Gday all, Finished one for a forum member and another for a member of another forum I frequent, as I have left him in suspense long enough, here's a peak.
One is birdseye redgum and the other is sambar antler. Thanks for looking Sean.

Very nice again mate......

Exactly the reason we prefer that photos are uploaded directly to the site.

I tried that, the only way I could get pics to upload on here was through my photobucket account, facebook etc will accept from my computer though. also I am no computer guru, not really a tool I keep in my shed.
Cheers Sean.

You just have to resize the the photos to say 800 x 600 pixels and under 200kb and they will upload no problems at all. If you have a Windows computer I'm there is a program that comes with it that will allow you to resize them easily enough.
