A Special Project

This I started in 2005 and never had time to finish till now .
The first knife has been HT and ready to finish.


Has the bolsters riveted on .

I had to make a pattern the green is auto body putty that was cast to the bolster to make a perfect fit and pinned to the Wenge wood handle mat'l . .

Then I used a tabled router to cut the handle mat'l to match the pattern . And YES it likes to eat fingers .

The wood glued to the knife ready to shape , I should have used the router to cut the finger groves in the wood it would have made this easer .

Art your curved bolster sure do dress up your knives. Really gives that custom feel.
