1084 and Osage
« on: April 02, 2015, 07:29:00 PM »
Well, it should of been called 1084 and curly maple but things don't always turn out like you plan.
  I have never made a larger knife like this before and I sure made my share of mistakes but I am happy with the all together turn out.
  1084 from Aldo
  Stabilized Osage from B.Jansen (Thanks Brad)
  Brass hardware from old gate valve stem
  13" OAL

Great job-and don't worry...you're not alone on things not going quite to plan... I've wasted and/or messed up materials and equipment all along the way. I like to call them learning experiences  ;) .

Good looking blade.  Nice lines and looks like a very user friendly design.
