JK Pocket knives: finished

Some finished examples

They are between 4 and 5" long made from 01 steel (a carbon steel so they discolor with use) are made out of 1/8" and 3/32" stock and are dressed in walnut, tiger maple and Osage wood with beads made from the same material as the scales and braided leather landyards.
 
From left to right: Pocket Rocket in walnut (and stained) with mosaic pin and brass tube, Pocket King in walnut (and stained) with mosaic pin and copper tube landyard,  Pocket Rocket in tiger maple (stained) with brass pins and tube, Cleaver jr in walnut and brass, Cleaver jr in Osage and brass. All finished with successive coats of linseed oil.

The one on top of the sheaths is called Rover and is waiting for something from it's owner before I can make a sheath for it (he wants it to hold a flashlight and I don't have one so he has to send me his to get it to fit) it is wearing walnut a mosaic pin and brass tube.

 Sheaths are made from 7-90z cow leather, shoulder to be precise, and come dyed, stamped and finished. I'm not as confident with leather as I am wood but I do dabble and I think these came out pretty great.


Thanks for looking
