Finally got some finished
A while back I had some struggles with a bird and trout knife I'd made-wouldn't hold it's edge. Finally got the kinks worked out and made some more of them along with some hunters. There were some more bumps along the road, but ended up with 5 finished ones.
The bird and trouts started out as 1/16" thick 15n20, so I wanted to carry the slim, light thing through the design with the handle. I finished 3 of these-Osage, curly Desert Ironwood, and black G10. First time for me using G10 and I like it pretty well. Easy to work and the pattern as you shape it is appealing to me. Not very good leather, but it holds the knife... They sliced very well when I tested them. Still shaved hair after cutting several pieces of old stiff leather. |
