Wheeler knives
 

Hey All

I am finally getting around to posting a few pictures of some of the knives I have made. About 90% of my blades are forged and all of the Damascus I use is made by me here in the shop. My knives are first and foremost working knives designed to cut very well and maintain a sharp edge as well as the steel used will allow, all steels are not created equal. I prefer to use High carbon steels but will on occasion or upon request stock remove a blade from stainless steel. All my knives are cutting tools no matter how nice they may look, they are designed to work hard and last a long time.

For years now I have been making a field grade line of knives that are machine finished down to 220 grit, then bead or sand blasted for that non glare look. With no hand finish work I save bunches of time and can keep the cost down.(( picture 1&2 ))

My way of giving back to guys who are serving now.

E-5 and below 20% OFF (all SF NCO's get this one too)
E-6 and above 10% OFF

I keep out of trouble and maintain my sanity working in the shop M-F, with my Old Buddy Kim Breed. When it is not going so good or we are waitng for something to cool or heat up, we walk down to the range and shoot a good bit...,

#6 is awesome. Nice work!

LOL I like that set myself, it went to a Hog Hunter down Florida. He gave me some great reports on how fast the fighter went into big hogs.... I will be posting a few that I have on hand this weekend after I locate my camera...

a few more
 

The last 2 are of the same knife< I do all my own leather work as well. Breed does the kydex for me.

website? order form?? price list? Plausible denial and "Get out of Jail Free" pass for when the wife sees the drain on the bank account you so inconsiderately teased us with and lured us into a purchasing ambush...??

Seriously nice knives. i see "one or two" I would like to have.

Alabi time
 

Hey I trained or should say convinced the GRITCH my gun safe had magical powers and she let me get away with it for years... every few months it had babies

LOL you know I was not going to put out any stinkers for yall to slobber over...:D

Yup - I'm practicing already: "This old thing...?? I've had that in my kitbag for years."

Nice work Brother! You have skills! ;)

I don't see a filet knife....... :munchin

Very nice work indeed!

I have made a few of those also, all of them went up to Sitka AK. They are a pain in my fingers, those thin blades get hot fast fast.:eek: My bigest one was 14" ATS34 it got a cryo and heat treated outside the shop, my little heat oven will only hold a 7" blade.

Here is one in action, you can only see the blade a little. That 1/4 of a fillet is hiding most of it... (an itty bitty flounder)

Very Nice looking work, both the metal and the leather. Like your taste in guns too.
