Neck Knife

Here is a knife made from 0.125" thick O-1 tool steel that was designed to be carried as a neck knife on a bead chain as pictured above or on a key ring. It measures 3" long and the blade is convex ground on one side only and has a 1.25" long cutting edge. The sheath is simple fold over Kydex sheath with holes drilled for neck or key ring carry.

Periodic Flowing Water?

I wonder how many others have taken this same shot?

This picture of 'Adam' was taken in Chicago's 'Old Town' neighborhood.

Embossed Silver, Gold and Pearl Pendant

This pendant was constructed from sterling silver and 18 K gold. The embossed texture was produced by rolling the silver with a piece of nylon mesh in my rolling mill. The pendant is set with a post-mounted freshwater cultured pearl.

JRE Bushcraft sheath with Firesteel

Here is a knife I made this summer from O-1 flat ground tool steel. It measures 7.5" long overall, with a 3.5" blade. The blade has a 11 degree bevel grind on each side with a steeper micro-bevel at the very edge. The handle is purpleheart wood affixed with epoxy and brass and copper pins. The wood is finished with melted wax and then hand buffed.

A Walk To The Farmers Market

One of my favorite things to do in the summer is to walk to the South Shore Farmers Market here in Bay View.  I sometimes stop to take pictures as we walk to South Shore Park where the farmer's market takes place on Saturday mornings. Here are a few pictures that I took last week on our walk.
