made two more
« on: April 24, 2011, 10:56:00 AM »
Well, I tried making two more.  They are made from blank blades that I purchased, and the handles are from slab wood from a pallet, like the last two I made.  I need to get a little better at final finishing before starting my next using the damascus blank that I bought.  This knife making is cool.  I usually have all I can do to fletch arrows!

I put some red material between the blade and wood on the bigger knife.

Thanks guys.  Clarence, you kind of got me started in this by recommending a couple good suppliers of blanks.  Oh, the knife I purchased from you a while back is absolutely gorgeous!  Far better quality than what I am capable of.    I am almost afraid to take it up the mountain with me. Thanks!

Wow!  I had no idea you had such talent!  I'm impressed.

They look like ideal general purpose knives.    :thumbsup:
