Be carefull... Pics.
« on: April 22, 2013, 10:47:00 AM »
Even after doing this for 15+ years,  I occasionally still get bit.   This was caused by me being careless while grinding, wide open, with a fresh 36 grit belt.

 


BUT... at least the Bowie I was working on came out unharmed!!

Don't you just love those hungry, fresh 36grit belts?

Very nice Bowie knife, though.

You're not really going to try to tell us you've never brushed a knuckle on a belt, are you Kevin?

That is a beautiful blade / guard / handle wood combination!

Sure glad you avoided staining it with the juice and I am glad that the injury was not worse!  

Heal up fast!

Shoot straight, Shinken

hi Darcy,  thanks,  the guard is Copper, and already getting a real nice dark patina.  Thats what I like about Copper, it oxidizes very nice, turning that "penny brown" over time.

Got to get this one shipped out today.
