Third Knife
« on: January 15, 2009, 10:59:00 PM »
Hey guys
Well my good mate Vaughn and i got into the shed again, and this is the result.
Also, its the first knife thats sharp  :D   :mrgreen: , i used benchstones instead of the whetstone, and got it pretty much shaving sharp, which i am ecstatic about (but had enough self-control to stop shaving hair off my leg- unlike vaughn  :p  ).
The steel is circular saw blade, pins are 'alloy' nails, and the wood is Jarrah.
Does anyone know how i should finish the wood? I have seen good results with tung oil...
Thanks,
Carl

Thin layers of super glue work good, but you gotta be fast or you'll be one with your knife. Good looking knife I really like the design.
