A definite improvement! Mike, your work is always amazing.
In the new year I really want to see you do a western though!!!!
I'm not the only one!
 
Thanks, but my mission is to rid the world of those pesky western handles

Now that's a makeover. No need for westerns when you make wa's like that. Love the slim ferrule with the copper? liner. Fantastic as always.
 
Ok. That's the best one I've seen to date. And there have been some outstanding ones (all of them...).
 
These are all going to the same addy in Canada. I can't believe that I am actually getting caught up a little, with my crazy schedule this summer I was really behind.
Thanks guys.

It's great to see your still improving with every handle, and your early ones were already quite good!
 
Beautiful handles Mike!
Maybe you should change your forum user name to Hobegone
 
A lot of my old pics are gone, so just thought I would add a few pics of some of the handles I have made in the past.

This is gonna feel good to say. Charles I'm waiting on you! It's ready to go except for the angled butt, I should really have the knife here before I do that.

After seeing those forge cleaver mods, I'm starting to regret gifting you that forge cleaver... D'oh!

Just kiddinnnngggg...

Awesome stuff Mike, keep em coming!
 
A couple of those look a little familiar :D! Great work, past and present. Can't wait to see what knife goes with this new handle. Also glad to see you working with more horn, and now tooth. If I ever get around to making a gallery of my knives, it's fare to say it'll also be about your handles. Thanks again for the hard work, awesome handles, and last, but not least, an unlikely friendship. Hope you don't mind, but I'll be stopping by your place if I ever make it to your neck of the woods.
 
Your welcome anytime

Looks wonderful Mike. As always, its a pleasure working with you. Not just great craftsmanship, but top notch customer service!
 
Mike you have any openings? Looking to get a knife rehandled. Awesome work always my friend
 
Just thought I would add these to this thread too. These are some of the very first handles I ever made.... that were photo worthy. The Ironwood/Maple combo was the first I ever sold. I really had a thing for white spacers.
