First Nuviking knife of 2010
Welll, finaly getting my workshop up and running again,,,still have to square my homemade milling machine in but other than that its all looking ok,,,Hell of a mess but Ok just the same.
I forged this blade last fall when it was raining and finished it with a nice spalted curly maple handle. After I attached it to a o1 forged blade I soaked it in 50/50 mix of boiled linseed oil and turpintine for few days then hand polished it off. The blade is 3/16 flatstock with a distle taper convex grind. After forging I sanded it to an 800 grit. Tryd etching it and didnt like it as much as I thought I would so I sanded it down again. __________________ tame birds sing of freedom,,,,Free birds just fly. http://neotribalartist.freeforum.ca |
