Handles Weekend
« on: October 16, 2011, 09:37:00 AM »
My wife has her high school friends from back home in for the weekend.  They are enjoying themselves in Boston going down memory lane.  Besides shuttle service and feeding horses, my weekend has been free  :saywhat:  

With deer season finally starting on Monday, I used the last few moments to finish up some projects like the dreaded handles & sheaths that I seem to keep putting off.  Forge will be closed during til January unless I use up all my five tags!

My weekend...

 

Plus I figured out what to do with my Camp Knife that had a mind of it's own during forging.  Here it is after tempering...

 

Just like the ladies, a little make over can do wonders  :)   tippit

Wow Doc!  I absolutely love the two in the middle, but all are great!

Somehow I'm going to get my paws on one of your kessler style knives...
