Hi All-Some of you may remember my proud/excited post about my youngest son's entry into custom knife-making here:
http://straightrazorpalace.com/conve...-show-off.html

He just finished up his second knife today. I'm not sure what you would call this style, but it is going to be his general fishing/outdoor knife. It's in 1095 steel with a false edge on top, an integral thong hole, and black linen micarta handle with perimeter pins; it has a nice heft and balance. It buffed up very nicely, I think, and took a wicked edge that easily shaves arm hair.

So the next step is the workshop we're having built next Tuesday, and moving in the tools and machinery I bought from another (deceased) knifemaker right after. He should be up and running in his own shop soon after that. Instead of bagging groceries, his summer job is going to be making and (hopefully) selling his custom knives. I think I'm more excited about this than he is! Thanks for looking-Aaron

P.S.: His mentor Ross Tyser is working on a damascus straight, and my son has shown an interest in that as well. Hopefully I'll be able to post a str8 in the near future!
