Different Style Knives

Thought I would post up some knives that I have previously made.

A few more.

That does it. I am reporting you to the mods.

I am sure you have greatly exceeded the official CFF limit for the amount of prudy allowed in one thread. Hell I think you exceeded the yearly limit.

In all seriousness that is some fine work. Makes me so jealous.

Not only good at what you do but a class act to boot. Thanks.

If the last pic is of oyster knives, those have got to be the sexiest I have ever seen for opening a shell full of snot!

I want to be your friend!

Seriously, I admire an artisan such as yourself and would love to have a piece of your work.

Anything for sale now?

I don’t have anything available right now. I’m semi retired so I’m almost always in the shop making knives so I will have some coming available soon. Thank you very much.

Nice work!

Hey!!! Backoff. I saw him first.

On second thought I probably can't afford him. Go ahead. Have at it.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback. I’ve been making knifes for a little over 3 years. Started when I retired from Duke Energy (CP&L).
I get my billets from reputable steel manufacturers and follow their heat treating guidelines/specifications.
I do mainly stock removal but I enjoy forging a blade once in a while. There are a couple in the preceding photos.
I’m humbled by your comments.

Thank you! Bowie’s are one of my favorite knives to make. This was a smaller Bowie. I can’t remember the specs but I think the blade was ~5-1/2”.

Bravo sir! Some very beautiful blades!

Wow! Good stuff.

That's some beautiful work. If you decide to sell a few I'll be watching.

Do you sleep very much? That is an excellent body of work you have there!

I have never seen a more desirable knife than these. Nice work, sir.

No small amount of talent at work here. Great eye for form and function as well as. Thanks.

Great looking blades sir.

Just saw this thread -- amazing work! Excellent photography, as well. Thanks for posting.

Paul is a true craftsman and an amazing guy. Puts his heart and soul into everything he makes. He also is a true Patriot and native to eastern NC.......whats not to like!

I watch Forge in Fire all the time, and your knives are beautiful...
