A couple of new ones

[OconeeDan]

I haven't posted here in a while, been very busy.  But here are a couple I have finished this week.  I hope you like them.
Top one is 4" hunter, it is a hefty knife and very stout.  Blade is cpm154 stainless, the handle is bacote and star mosaic pin that I made.
Notice that the sheath is backwards because he is a leftie.  I also carved his initials in it.
The bottom knife is a 3" skinner, also with cpm 154 blade.  The handle is rosewood and has another mosaic pin that I made.  
Thanks, Dan

I surly do like that top one! Did You use a dremel to buff the scuffs in?
 Like those homemade pins too!

Thank you very much!  Prairie boy, I use an abrasive rod with a drill press for the jewelling.  Looks good, easy, and less prone to scratching.

Dan, Very nice work all around.

What type of rod are you using for the buff work on the blades??

Good to see back at it Dan! Awesome work as always!

I like the shape on that rosewood knife,may have to borrow that,they both look great!

[OconeeDan]

Thanks!
Buzz, Midway USA sells a tool for jeweling, it is essentially a brass tube with an abrasive rod inside it.  It has an adjustment plug in the end, to push the rod out as you use it up.  They also sell replacement rods.  They feel like long pencil erasers with fine abrasive in it.
You can also smear valve grinding compound on the blade, and use a hard plastic rod.  Works fine, but is a bit messy.

Dan, Those are very nice indeed!  I just got back from our soon to be little horse farm in Aiken.  Hope to get to meet you sometime when I'm a Snowbird Southerner     Doc

[OconeeDan]

Thank you DOC.  You mean Aiken SC?  That is not too far from Ray's hog heaven!  And not terribly far from me either, I am about 90 miles from Augusta GA. (halfway between Augusta and Atlanta)
I look forward to meeting you.  The Blade Show in Atlanta is a "must see" when you get settled in.
