Eddie, glad you like it and that the PO didn't manage to mangle, break, fold, spindle, or mutilate it it between here and Boonville. ;D

I finally got them finished. Something always seems to go wrong when I am working on knives. Sometimes the steel will no cooperate, but I fought them tooth and nail. I used steel from an old sawmill blade about 1/8" thick after I removed a bunch of rust. I used some elk antler for the scales. They will be in the mail tomorrow, so Sailordad and Okie1, here are your knives.
Sorry about the pics, it was too dark outside. I had to heat treat and temper three times, quenching in cooking oil twice and finally in warm salt water before they were hard enough. The funny thing is that the blades that I cut from the other sides only took one quenching and they were right on. There are a few scratches, hammer marks and maybe some of my leftover DNA on them. They are fairly sharp, so don't cut your finger off.
D. Tiller:
I'm going to be a few days late on getting the last blade in the mail. Sorry, some things have come up here that have taken all my time. It is going out though!
