A few knives that I recently knapped and hafted using cedar that I find along the coast of SC. The largest knife in the photo is 9 1/2" from end
to end. Positive responses I've been getting from folks are about the quality of the knapping and the "one of a kind awesome handles".

Yes, Rick, those are absolutely beautiful! I think those are the nicest I've ever seen.
Beautiful work on the blades and they look razor sharp. And I love the cedar handles, too. Thanks for the post!

Thanks guys. Scott, I was coaxed a year and a half ago  by some local friends to make a knife or two. Before that I had sold some blades and let others make the knife with my blade. So, for the past year and a half I've mostly been working on the knifes and hafting them myself. I prefer sand cedar and southern live oak to use for handles which are found on the immediate coast, stressed out by nature. Nothing with bark on it and mostly roots from blown down trees when I can find them. I do all the sanding by hand, going through six different grits all the way to 2,000. I rub in a little cedarwood oil and buff by hand. Made 40-50 last year so my knapping skill level has improved as I log in the hours.
