My brother just made me a knife for my retirement so I thought I'd show it off. Then I decided I might as well show the rest of the knives he's made me as well. He's a journeyman Smith and had been forging blades for a couple of years. They are all excellent cutters and his work keeps improving. The latest is the Last of the Mohicans inspired 7" blade with elk horn handle . Turned out awesome. The bowie has 11" blade and micarta handle. The two small skinners were some of the first he made and one of them is what I carry daily.
