I’ve had a knife in my pocket, almost everyday, for over a decade now. I was not a fan of fixed blades until I started making them. But I’ve heard, once you start carrying fixed blades you don’t go back. I have found this to be true.
EDC Knives
Take-down Tantos
I
This tanto is my first take down knife. The handle is retained by a tapered brass pin and is made from African blackwood. The blade is 1084.
.
The sheath is wet-molded, saddle stitched leather.
II
My second take down tanto. The handle is also made from African blackwood and the blade 1084.
.
Also featuring a wet-molded, saddle stitched leather sheath.
III
Another take-down tanto, very loosely inspired by the Deckard's gun from the blade runner movie.
.
This was a bit of an experiment with how slim I could make one of these. The blade stock was 3/32" and the handle is made from a sheet of 3/8" g10.
.
The sheath is leather laminated kydex.
Brute-de Forge EDC
Forest Knife
I made this for myself to carry around, its been in my pocket almost every day since.
.
Forged 1080 with an integral guard/ bolster. The handle is forest green G10 and canvas micarta.
Desert Bowie
Integral guard and bolster forged from 1080 high carbon steel. The handle is made from desert ironwood with antiqued brass accents.
.
The sheath is my first leather laminated kydex. Big thanks to koi knifeworks on insta for all the advice.
Cocobolo Classic
I was initially not happy with this knife, thought it wasn’t good enough to sell. I ended up finishing it and keeping it. And absolutely loving it, carried it a lot.
.
Unfortunately it suffered a tragic fate, I forgot it on the roof of my car and drove away. I did recover it, bit it needs some repairs.
.
An early leather sheath from me. Being dissatisfied with this sheath lead me to make my own tools.
