FINALLY got all these suckers built and put together! Still need to etch the company logo on them and sharpen em up! this was a pretty big undertaking for me and my little garage shop! Glad I was able to get them all done in plenty of time for Christmas gifts! ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/10/full-66009-255728-img_20201004_152319_401.jpg)

This is my 1st attempt at making one of his single blade trapper patterns ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/10/full-66009-256624-20201008_161456_01.jpeg)

Thanks guys, I appreciate the welcome! I'm trying to figure out which sponsorship I need to purchase so I'm able to sell my knives here. (I don't wanna be stepping on anyone's toes!) I'll update my info with my website when I'm able to get that done!
Just a little more history on me... bjankowski is one of the reasons that I'm making knives now! Thank you Bob! I saw some of his knives on a different website a few years ago and just decided to jump in and see what I could do! I've been fortunate to meet lots of great makers and ask LOTS of questions to get me to where I am today!
All of my knives are 100% done by me in my little garage shop, including the hand sewn leather sheaths. I make mostly EDC/hunting fixed blades, but also do kitchen knives, filet knives, and slip-joint pocket knives. That s TBH bro, here the owner is pretty dam generous
