Harrison Mealey Knives

Some game bird carriers completed today, first time making these, pretty fun. This was also my first “production” run of anything Ive made yet.

My five year old wanted a wallet to hold his “money bucks”, this is what we came up with.

For sure more refinements needed but I learned alot making this little pouch for my muzzleloading powder and rounds. This was my first “real” attempt at making a case (or anything with sides/gussets).

My first roper wallet complete, still quite a bit of learning needed.

Haven’t been able to use the knife shop for awhile, so I’m working on my leather game. Here’s some projects from the past week.

Finally, I got another off the bench. This one is W2 with a hamon. The handle is constructed of Desert Ironwood with stainless corby bolts.

When I got into making blades I was quickly drawn towards kitchen cutlery, which has grown my appreciation for cooking. One thing I've learned very quickly is that a blade in the kitchen is a tool and has to be just right to perform efficiently. So, a few months ago I decided to make a blade and give it to a local chef for professional feedback. He just sent me some pics and has provided excellent feedback. I guess the lesson I learned, as a newer maker, is that you shouldn't always be in a rush to sell.

Some works in progress (wips).

This blade is nearly done, just some finishing touches left. It is a W2 and Wrought Iron san mai with a bog oak handle held together with a stainless corby bolt.

A little more progress...

Some wrought and W2 sanmai, lots of work to do still but I think it pulled an auto hamon too.

# forge

Forgot to post this one. This was a little post holiday invasion forge time. My version of a kiridashi in a sanmai.
