Nice work! I really like the second from the top - the cleaver looking one. I could see that being really handy!

Thanks, It's a great tool. I've used it in the kitchen, but it's really made for woods use. I use it in place of a hatchet sometimes, but it can also do fine work for fire prep as you can see in the pic.

Man, I love that thing lol.

Me too! lol I was gonna sell it recently, but when I started taking pics of it to put it up for sale, i couldn't bring myself to do it. He's only made 3 of these and doesn't plan on making any more.

Nice bush type knives. Where do you get your ferro rods?

Thank you Scott. I order blanks off eBay and then add the handles myself.

Awe man... I just can't sell knifes either.

The cleaver is underrated me thinks. Sure when you have a drawer full of blades its used rarely, but out in the bush.... Well that's where it shines. I guess being I can take apart just about anything with a penknife (ex butcher), my taste in knives might be scewed more so toward tools that will do "the heavy lifting" as I can't recall a day in the past 20 years that I haven't had a little folder in my pocket. That's to say, out in the bush I am a two blade kind of guy.

I used to do cutlass's, moved to axes... But a cleaver that's half the weight and does 80% of what the others do is pure gold for this out of shape dude I have become lol.
