Thought I'd put up a couple of my round knives here in the "Show Off" category.  I've been using them as a Maker for over 30-years, and became obsessed with making them myself a few years ago.  I made my first one about 18-months ago with influence from everybody from CS Osborne to Danny Marlin, and everybody in-between.  I chose to use AEB-L stainless steel for my blades as it was developed for razor blades, and it's got years of successful history.  It's been around a LONG time.  All of my blades are professionally heat treated by Buck Knives/Bos Heat Treating out in Post Falls, Idaho.  The fasteners on these two are stainless steel Loveless bolts designed by the late knifemaker Bob Loveless.  Handle material is DymaLux which I've found to be outstanding to work with, and provides a solid weight and density.  It finishes nicely, too.  Thanks for looking!

Thank you, sir!  Same here--I've kind of turned into an accidental collector over the years.

Those are really nice thanks for showing, really like the middle one just because its more of classic looking Round Knife because the colour of the handle which will look even better over time. Also good to hear from some one who has a passion for the Round Knife i know i would not trade any of mine for any other kind of knife they are just a joy to use.

Thanks again

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

Excellent work, Mr. Gibson. I am an odd duck I suppose as I can't find any love for the round knife even though I have tried.
