Here are the pictures. The batch of three the first knife has curly maple as the handle with poured pewter bolster, the second is a full tang knife with curly hickory scales and iron bolsters, and the last is a through tang knife with curly maple with pewter bolster and endcap engraved. The other picture is of a knife I didn’t for a friend of mine for his father with walnut handle and pewter bolster engraved.

Very nice. I especially like the 3rd in the 1st set and the one you did for your friend's dad.

Nice batch of knives, Robert!  I agree with Tim about that last one, it’s sweet!  Speaking of your rifle build, how’s it coming?

I am a sucker for those curly maple and hickory handles.  I like the way you finished them too.  Nice blade forging.  I especially like the engraved palmetto.   :-) 
Best wishes, and God Bless,   Marc

Thank you all I’ve been woking up some pieces for the show in Lexington, and the rifle is finished I posted it in the gun building section. My next project is a replica of a Gillespie knife pictured in Mr. Glazener’s book.
