Looking for a folder for those hard chores? Custom knifemaker Ray Laconico’s ‘Bear’ features a stonewashed blade in D2 tool steel & titanium handles. It also has a Ti frame lock with a tumbled finish and a carbon fiber back spacer. (Photo: mattmanb – BladeForums)
Mammoth tooth handles, damascus steel blade, engraved nickel bolsters … this combination is a personal favourite. Handmade by knifemaker Dave Ferry, the ‘Ranchero model is a small, lightweight knife with a blade length of 3 inches and an overall length of 7. Accentuating the fine design is the Western Brite Cut engraving by Mike “Tapadero” Vatalero, of Tap’s Bit and Spur Shop. (Photo: Horsewright – BladeForums)

With a sharp edge from 1095 carbon steel, this pocket knife will make quick work of everyday tasks, and a classy one at that! (Photo: jkskaminski – Instagram)

Wicked-looking and with sleek details, this custom recurve bowie resembles an elfish knife. Made from CPM-3V steel, an oxblood leather moulded sheath, and with mosaic pins in its wooden handle … definitely a functional piece of knife craft! (Photo: knifepics – Tumblr)
