Here's my latest knife.
This one is 1 1/2 1084 8 1/4 overall with a 3 5/8 blade with stainless bolsters and brass pins, the handle is stabilized spalted maple.
I've still got a little work to do still. |

This looks great! Are you going to put some oil or finish on the wood?

you might also think about rounding all of the edges on the knife especially the front side of the boulsters. sharp edges can cause hot spots while using the knife and will hurt your hand after extensive use. overall though it looks great!!

Yeah, I've got some more work to do when it comes to bolsters.

Nicely done. Have to agree on the bolster edges.
Not trying to be critical about your sheath, but you might want to consider making one a bit deeper. Two fingers worth of handle protruding on a pouch style like that. I know the handle is pretty and showy but if it bounces out and hits the concrete, you're not going to like it much. Protect the knife and the carrier first, you can always take the knife out to show it off. __________________ Carl Rechsteiner, Bladesmith Georgia Custom Knifemakers Guild, Charter Member Knifemakers Guild, voting member Registered Master Artist - GA Council for the Arts C Rex Custom Knives Blade Show Table 6-H |

yes I wasn't trying to be critical about the boulsters either. Just passing on some advise that I was given and am constantly reminded of by a well known maker from my area.
Great looking work!!! |
