I agree with you Bob , there are a lot of questions and the 1st one I can think of is where did he purchase those knives. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ron.... You sure have made a couple of winners this time , all your knives are really great but these two are something special.

I guess I should have given a few specs on these knives.
They are both 1095 steel heat treated to my specs for a good balance in a knife
The top one has a 4 inch blade flat grind , 9 inch overall. The gentleman that ordered it has big hands so handle was built to his specs.
The price was xxxxxx tyd including a custom sheath , my sheaths are a little different ,I treat in melted beeswax which does two things,the sheath can be formed for a good friction fit and be hard as a rock. I like this process for another reason,raw leather tends to rust a carbon knife ,a sheath treated with beeswax seems to help lubricate and protect the knife from rusting.
The second knife
1095 steel ,6 7/8 overall 3 5/8 blade flat grind, custom sheath

I like those designs, Ron. Unusual handle slabs there. I'll take a guess they are from homemade material, possibly black cloth and aluminum or stainless foil ????
