Just bought a couple new plug cutters off this psychopath at the Palmer craft fair. Along with some art for my pipe desk in the study.

Between your Alaskan commissioned pipe series, and other odds and ends (such as those knives), I feel confident in saying - You have good taste.
Haha it takes good taste to know good taste, sir!
Your Alaskan pipe series and the story that goes in each is incredible.
I’ve done some blacksmithing in the past and this Damascus pattern is not easy to pull off actually! Especially the second I can’t reverse engineer it in my head, that wood burl type of pattern.

Beautiful looking hatchets (?)
You specifically bought those for plugs? I only ask because I'm guessing from the photo they have quite a thick looking edge?

Ok, where did you get the little dog to go with your pipe stuff? I have a similar dog, but he isn't fond of pipe smoke.
The knives are stunning! Given your location, I figure you must have a Ulu kicking around somewhere too. Thanks for sharing your wonderful finds!

Your pooch looks like he has been to the vet and is still suffering the effects of the anesthetic.
Those knives are awesome. Nice purchase.
Really nice knives indeed. So is the knife maker local? I can see how these knives would cut plug well. A short, wide blade should give you great control and ability to cut nice flakes.
I think I’m gonna have to save your picture as an example and start looking for a knife made like that. Thanks for sharing!

Haha I wouldn’t be caught dead owning that dog. It was the knife dude’s wife’s dog.
Yep, local guy. And you have mirrored my thoughts prior to the purchase exactly!
I feel so much better now. Almost thought we could t be friends there for a minute.
Kool knives!
I suppose it's telling a tale on me, that upon reading your thread title "New Fancy Plug Knives," my first thought was something like, Why would anybody be shopping for plug-bayonets for muzzle-loading military muskets?
Those damascus blades are awesome.
I think I have cleaver envy now

Nice set of knives there. I too have found a solid clever works well for plug cutting. Particularly Peterson 3p
Salty Dogs was the impetus for this purchase.
@alaskanpiper ,
if you were to give those plug knives a name or a style of knife, what would you call them? I was trying to look online to see if there’s anything out there like them. Thanks!
any chance this local artisan knife maker has a website?

I have no idea! Mini cleaver maybe? And No, I tried to find a website for them to no avail. I had seen similar style knives out there before though, so some good internet scouring should turn something up.
