Shop is almost done, so hopefully things will slow down soon. I thought I would follow suit and periodically update this thread with some examples of my work. I was able to get this one done recently, and am pretty happy with how it turned out. - Hunter/skinner - 80crv2 high-carbon steel - Acid-etch / stone-wash finish - Burlap micarta handle, micarta pins w/brass accents, and white/black G10 liner/accents.

Sorry, they’re not the best pics. 3.75” hunter with stabilized zebrawood handle (this one’s getting raffled at the Stewards of the Wild dove hunt) EDC/hunter with Ultem scales (looks really cool when held up to the light) "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom." - Ecclesiastes 9:10

I've started carrying one full-time, and I see why. Almost undetectable in the pocket and I love always having a fixed blade on me. More of my work can be found on Instagram (@texastemper).
