Winkler knife...
Guys, you would appreciate this one. I sure do. I picked this one up in NYC last weekend.
I just loved the overall shape. You KNOW I like that 'guardless' look. Daniel nailed this one perfectly. I love that older flame etch. Cool. Coop |

Coop, Your photo skills are out of this world! I've always liked the combination of these two's work. I wish I had a wife that could do sheath work like that. I'm guessing but is it rawhide over leather?

From Daniel Winkler himself: "sheath made of rawhide covered with brain tan deerskin fringe and insert" Brain tan? This sent my wife running.... Coop |

nyone have any idea on how he does the flame edge? Is it an etch resist image, or is it 2 seperate steels?

Mike, Think Coop said it was an etch. Its real simular to what I was doing a couple years ago. You should be able to do you markings with a sharpee pen and then etch.
I plan on having my hide brain tanned when I drop dead. Thats called using you head after you drop dead..... |

Thanks Ray, I thought that was the case, but wasnt sure.
Using a sharpie, do you need to draw over your lines more than once to darken them up more? Would that make the resist thicker? Also, how long will the ink resist the Ferric ? Thanks and God Bless Mike __________________ "I cherish the Hammer of Thor, but I praise the hand of God" |

Mike, I would suggest doing some test before you do it for real. It seems to me like I would let them soak around 5 minutes. As far as doing the sharpee I'd experiment with that to. Fingernail polish works good along with a number of other things.
