I have some drawings in the works, but I have been working at other stuff and have not had the inspiration to work on them...
These are 4 of the 5 knives I was commissioned for earlier this year... the fifth, unfortunately, warped when I quenched them, and even after tempering it snapped when I attempted to straighten it. It was the thinnest blade out of them though, so I think that might have been part of the cause. I have never posted any of my crafting work before... but I figured I ought to since my primary goal in this has always been to be able to make the weapons I draw... The guthooks unfortunately don't work as intended... partly because I haven't got the slightest clue as to how I would sharpen them, partly I'm pretty sure my geometry is a bit wrong... aside from the bigger knife, which is made from part of a leaf spring (so I don't know exactly what it is, just that is a tough spring steel) they are made from 1080 high carbon steel.
Well that was a long one... sorry... Anywho, Hope y'all like them
