Here's what my buddy has made. He's also melted and poured the aluminum and brass for hilt and handles. Getting better with every blade!

Is he planning on stamping them with what looks "like " that three leaf clover image ? Or does that mean " The Father, Son , and Holy Spirit ? ..... Your pics don't do them justice, I bet seeing them personally they look even better .

My EDC is a Benchmade, one-hand folder. Not a top-dollar knife, but holds an edge and will take some abuse.

My neighbor is a blacksmith, farrier, and blade maker, and he makes some beautiful pieces. I can't buy one because I would only hang it on the wall - they are too pretty to use around here. Attached are a few examples of Ben's work:

Bullbreaker, he's been at this for 4-5 years now and is his therapy! Most of his blades are made from commercial mower blades! Some even have a tungsten cutting edge he works into the cutting edge of knife. I'm working on him to fashion me an oyster knife like he made his neighbor. Told him no hurry. Not sure of price, but don't care as I like the style!

Does he make these commercially? If so, does he have a website?

He's got an Etsy store - Dirty Irish Blades. Or Google Dirty Irish Blades to find his stuff. Wish I had that type of talent that these guys put into their blades!
