Mike,

Nice work Brother. That is a talent that I do not have, working with metal has always fascinated me.

The old "Blacksmith" guys always seemed so tough to me as a kid (they still do I guess) but they could fix or make anything and I always admired that.

Thanks for the pic,

Tony

I find my favorite to be the D-Guard Bolo, I like the hand guard built into the handle and the heavy blade for multiple capabilites being my deciding factors, they are all very nice looking knifes and fron the pictures look very well built and durable.

Great job!
Really enjoyed looking at the craftsmanship that's gone into making these knives.
Is making them your full time job, or is it a hobby that you do in your spare time?
God bless,
Jon

That'sa good question.
When I need more money and have to make them I call it a job.
When I have extra money because I make them I call it fun.
I love to make knives and have done so for 30+ years.
Spare time ? I don't have time for such things rolleyes.gif
I have many part time jobs that all add up to a very demanding
full time job. We call it life and we all have the same boss.

Thanks for asking Jon.
Have a blessed day,
Mike
