For sale/trade: Handforged knives

I've been involved with bladesmithing since I was 13, and have recently taken up some internship/independent study work in a local blacksmith shop, so I've been producing some fun stuff. I generally used to only sell $200+ blades, but I've since started producing respectable knives for as low as $45 (due to gained experience and access to an excellent shop) so that people can buy them on a more reasonable budget.

I'm very willing to trade. I really want to acquire a pistol for my girlfriend's birthday (.22 pistol preferable, maybe a 9mm) and would actually be willing to put up to $75 in addition to trade...I also would accept such things as any airsoft M-4 accessories, GOOD M-4 midcaps, general airsoft gear, etc.

PM me if you're interested in anything to do with it, I'm very flexible and may actually be teaching a bladesmithing class in the future...but I digress...pics!..urgh, just right click/open in new tab for now since the images are huge
(note: most of these are commissions/sold...I generally do custom work as per customers wishes. I have more pics upon request)

There was a retired duck hunter General that made knives, here in Tucson, that looked a lot like those.

Good looking work.

Your work is quite beautiful. I especially enjoy the tomahawk; would love to buy one from you someday.

55-65 on average as per a rockwell tool

5160, 1095, W-1/W-2, L-1, etc. I've used a little O-1 and have used D-2 but exotic alloys like that are 'spensive.

I forge almost all of them (working on some stock-removal cheapie fillet blades, too) from reclaimed materials.

Can you repost your pictures so they display properly? My father makes custom knives and I want to pass this onto him. Thank you
