neck knives
Handforged:
Finished the lower knife very simply. After heat treating it was etched for a deep black color, 550 cord wrapped handle. It was then treated with a thinned epoxy resin. Simple and effective.

Nice. I just noticed you're in Montana--we're almost neighbors (I'm in western Wyoming). Never been to Monarch, but almost took a job in Deer Lodge a few years back and I've spent some time exploring the area around Anaconda. Pretty country! I spent a night in a tent somewhere up above Anaconda, and over the course of the night had my sleep disturbed by both coyotes sniffing around, and a herd of elk thundering through the clearing. Pretty cool.
If you finish that clamshell knife and decide to put it up for sale or trade, I might be interested. I don't have a whole lot to trade at the moment but I bet I could come up with something worthwhile.

Thanks, you're welcome to PM me. I'm just posting pictures for you guys, I don't want to violate any rules here. Just thought you guys might enjoy seeing some of my work as I go along.
On a side note, I'll most likely finish the clamshell knife today or tomorrow. Tryin to figure out the type of wood to use on these is sometimes the hardest part. I have to stare at it a while.

Very nice knives! The calm shell blade would look good with antler or a local hardwood, I think! I need another neck knife! (lol) (f)!

I wish we had local hard woods. Now antler we have, in spades. The hardest wood we have in my area is cottonwood. My mountain is covered in Subalpine spruce and doug fir.
