Title: Trio of "Rough Necks"
Post by: 4est Trekker on October 02, 2012, 06:28:23 pm

Howdy, folks.  Here's a trio of "rough necks."  These little caping neck knifes are finished raw...belt finish, some forge marks, cord handles, etc.  They average 6" in oal, with roughly 2" blades.  Two are saltwater etched; the third has a "kitchen patina" earned from some use in the kitchen cutting lemons, apples, onions, and some other goodies :)  These are thin little blades designed after my love for Swiss Army knives...those thin, slick little blades that seem to fit and slide in where many knives won't (i.e. when caping) but with a good deal more meat...plus they won't close up on you!  They're just a frog's hair under 3/32" thick and are differentially heat treated.  Thanks for looking.  As always, critique welcomed!

I'm always impressed with your work, and these guys are no exception :)  Those little knives sure come in handy.  I think they're more practical than a big 6 inch blade any day.
