Damn! GT Man these are art. 

#2 needs a leather sheath with a braid down the center to match the handle pattern

I was thinking about it but not everyone wants to spring for a leather sheath. I can arrange to have one made if anyone desires it.

If you get around to making another similar to number 2 I’d be very interested. 

When you say similar do you mean similar as in the style of the handle specifically or knife size or the exact shape of the blade? As you can imagine the handle takes forever to assemble....no really.

Similar as in I know there are not and of yours that are 2 just alike. I was thinking similar pattern on the handle. Blade type similar to the sawmill blades.

I've picked a blade I feel confident you will like. I plan on making two handles and I'll let you pick one and I'll put the other up for sale. These handles take time....lots of time. The pieces have to be cut, sanded and there is a lot of cutting of G10.

These handles take me about two weeks to assemble and cure before I can ever begin to shape them so it will be weeks before you see a knife. I'm just letting you know up front. I work in the shop for 4-5 hours a day tops in between doing the things I need to do around the house.

I take it you are recovering well? Sounds like home chores are back into your routine.

I'm still hobbling around but I got tired of sitting on my keester. I take is slow and steady. Thanks for asking.

Be very careful. I'm still having trouble with my lower back and some foot issues.

So I move slow. Wife says I shuffle like an old man.

I tell her that's what I am now. She doesn't like me to say that.
