And a parting view from the top, showing the natural form of the antler. This creates a comfortable “cradle” in the hand.

This nifty little Trapper is super striking!

Here we have some detail pictures of this week’s available knives!

Custom Knives, Lucas Forge

First off, here’s a shot of the cool X-jimping that belongs to the curly maple Powder River!

Next up, there’s the Lookout. This special-edition knife features an amazing sheath set-up and these next pictures will show a little more about it. Check it out!

Here we have a dangler style snap-over sheath with a firesteel packing right along!

Leather Sheath

This customized belt loop can be snapped off and the whole sheath used as a neck sheath. Just thread a thong or cord of your choice through the brass D-ring and it’s ready for the ride.

A pause to take a look at the thimping pattern along the spine!

Drop-Point in Detail

Lucas Forge Posted on by

Hello everyone! Up for today, we have detail pictures of a snazzy drop-point knife that is on the Available Now page currently!

It’s a beauty of a hammer-forged original by Lucas Forge!

From the bird’s-eye view here, we can see some of the overall features. A honey-hued curly maple handle with brass accents, the hammer marks, aged finish…that kind of thing…

Drop Point Blae, Custom Knives, Forged Knives

We will now zoom up a bit to get a better view of the blade. From here it becomes a little more obvious that something’s going on with the spine.

File work, Custom Knives, Lucas Forge

Oh boy! Customized filework! This not only adds to the design of the knife, it also gives more grip when the knife’s in use! But maybe there’s even more than meets the eye, so we’ll go at it from another angle…

Custom Knife, Lucas Forge, Lucas Knives, Alabama Knifemaker

Right along the grip-section of this spine, a unique contour has been carefully added so that there is a subtle area for the user’s thumb to settle. This may particularly be of use when the knife is needed for a very controlled cutting task, or because it’s just plain comfortable!

And we’ll finish up this tour with a picture of the other side of this unique, handcrafted knife.

Hope you’re having a wonderful day!

New knives are on the page! Thought I’d post a few detail photos:

Here’s a shot of the large Jaguar-type knife in the sheath. This is a sweet setup, folks.

This is the available Powder River’s sheath, which has some cool creases across the width of the sheath, making a rugged look.

An attempted close-up shot of the walnut-stained curly maple handle on that Frontier Trapper. It’s hard to get a photo that really shows this effect. It’s amazing!

A blade close-up too, just for fun. That curved blade and sharp tip means detailed cutting work.

Custom: Parade of Packers

Lucas Forge Posted on by

The Packer model is full of versatility and just plain practicality. It is of a very useful size…compact enough to carry daily and large enough to do most cutting jobs with ease.

Custom Packers are so varied, and each so unique, that for today’s blog post, we present a series of four, all sporting curly maple handles. Check it out!

Custom Knife, Hunting Knife, Dressing Knife, Skinning Knife, Belt Knife

Aged blade and a medium brown stain on that curly maple gives this one a refined look. Plus, those mosaic pins set it off.

Satin blade finish, small pins and light, bright curly maple. What a match!

Measures approximately 12 inches overall, with a 7-inch blade.

Pocket Pal Revisited

Lucas Forge Posted on by

Custom Knives, Little Knife, Small Belt Knife, Skinning Knife, Carving Knife, Lucas Knives, Hunting Knife

This nifty little knife is (believe it or not!) one of the Pocket Pal’s from the special in July 2015 with a new snazzy black micarta handle!

The black micarta suites this design remarkably well and the large stainless bolt/pin sets add an extra element that really stands out.

The Pocket Pal is a proven-tough design.

We’d love to know what you’ve done with yours if you’ve outfitted it with a handle, or how it’s performed for you out there! Feel free to leave a comment!
