My latest project
Here are some photos of my latest 2 projects. The first one was a simple hunting blade with ironwood handles using brass pins and a single mosaic pin at the front of the handle
The second one started off with a black micarta handle. But since i was not paying attention when I was using the drill press and wrecked it I took the opportunity to try making a different kind of handle. The handle is made from 2 slabs of ironwood, inletted for the tang using a dremel tool with the router attachment. This is my first attempt at making this kind of handle and I was very worried about the seam showing and looking ugly. After getting it all put together and sanding and buffing the handle it almost vanished. I was very happy with how my first attempt turned out. I'm going to make one of my next knives this way and see if i can avoid a few of the mistakes I made on this one. If you are looking for a router that you can use in a small shop (corner of the kitchen counter in my case) the dremel attachment fits the bill. |

Nice job! That ironwood is some real pretty stuff. I like mortice tang handles.

I really like the blade style on #2. Both finishes look great, though. Well done!

Looks like a copy of the Randall Model 1 fighter. My all time favorite knife. 1940's era of course.

Veck -
Very nice work indeed. Just out of curiosity where did you get the second blade. S1N __________________ S1N "A bad doing something you love is better than any day at work." |

I thought the blade looked familiar. Once again nicely done. S1N __________________ S1N "A bad doing something you love is better than any day at work." |
