Greetings, friends!
I'm interested in your opinion about the work of my good friend

He for a long time, fond of collecting Randall,
Case, Gerber, Camillus, Dozier and other combat and hunting knives.

Some time ago, he began to make their own knives, basis from his experience
and a bit of a modern sight on the classic form.

Now we are looking access to the US market.
The fact that it is for us US market - Terra Incognita.

Whether he is good enough to try to participate in bladeshow,
or better to try to work through dealers, or private?

All knives are made entirely by hand.
While the piece models a bit, mostly knives rarely repeated,
but if anyone has the desire, it is possible to repeat.
Exist work under the order, according to your sketch.

I want to show you the work that had already been sold.
This is the first part, the most simple knives with a minimum
of decoration and the maximum working qualities.

Also I would like to get your opinion about the design.
Maybe something is missing or something extra

Continuation of the first part

Looks nice to me; I'd imagine the US market is tough to get into small-scale, though others know more than I do.

Nice knives. How are they priced?

Here is the second part,
Here is a more classic options with "rat tail"

including kitchen knife, its humped shape of the handle
is very handy for continuous operation of the chef

Nice, I like the looks of those. What steel is he using?

Mark, price in different ways, depending on the material,
blade size, complexity of work

But on average $ 220-300

Most of the cost is steel and supplies for its processing,
this steel very quickly destroy abrasive belt for grinder


example:

Steel CPM S125V
Orange G10
Full lenght 218 mm
Blade 110*24*4.8 mm hollow grind
weight 5,2 ounce (7.6 ounce with sheath)
leather sheath vegetable tanned

$ 250

Steven, he uses different steel,
Basically the US, since they provide high quality and predictable results for heat treatment,
here is a list of steels that are used in the illustrated knife:
O-1 (Swedish)
D2 (German)
440C (German)
CPM S90V (USA)
CPM S125V (USA)
CPM 121 REX (USA)
154cm on Chef (USA)
ats-34 (Hitachi Metals Ltd.)

I love the second "techno Scagel" from the top, the set of two. Nice traditional appearance.

Techno Scagel's a cool name, too.

These are the first experiments,
nice that people like it

Typically, classically used not clear skin - but with
spacers of metal, thin G10 and other, as made James Behring.
But we have decided to put a clean skin, in the future we will look
