There sure are some exceptionally beautiful knives posted throughout this thread. Lots of beautiful work.
Here are some of my plain janes ,,,a couple of “acquired” from over the years 😂
And them my favorite. And probably the most accurate of my present collection of 35 or so and the one that I keep scary sharp 🤪😂😂

This knife purchased through Crazy Crow from Pakistan. Filed off the markings. I scrimshawed the bone handle, used the good leather sheath as an insert for the beaded buckskin sheath acquired through auction.

The first picture belowI is the first knife my teenage grandson forged and finished. I think he has potential. The other photos are knives that I finished and put handles on. I buy the blades off ebay or from knife supply sources and modify them as I see fit and make the handles from various materials. I especially like working with deer antler and bone. I have a HUGE box of deer antlers obtained from my cousin and from sheds I have found.

All very impressive! There's a great looking knife in a Comanche scabbard given by the character Sam to the character Elsa in the "1883" series which I just got to rent at my library. All filmed in Texas, it's a great prequel to 'Yellowstone'! Thanks for posting, everyone, they all look great.
