Now i just have to build a light box.I took over 40 pictures,inside,outside,different angles,flourecents,incandescents and these are the best pictures of all I realy wanted everyone to see the fit and finish better.no scratches,no gaps,awsome plunge,etc.
So Don how about a tanto for the next challenge? :cool: Ps.The blade was going to have a long nail nick but when i went to cut it i realized i was sent the wrong collet for my cutter so i left out the nick __________________ N'T McAhron Sqwaukin Vulture Verrinder "to create is to make art" TREMBLING EARTH KNIFE WORKS Last edited by McAhron; 06-30-2005 at 12:22 PM. |

Nice job!
A light box is definitely the way to go on the pics but even with the box you may still have to 'tweak' the picture a little. For now, maybe this one that I tweaked for you will help: |

It doesn't look much like a Barlow but I like it just the same. I think that you have done some good work there. congrats.

Thanks Ray and Jerry.I tried to make it as much a barlow as i could while still having a 4" blade. The handle ratio is that of a barlow.It is thicker at the rear and narrower in the front. The bolster length is long, also in barlow style.This is one big knife and in retrospect I should have used Don's barlow plans so it could be more easily compared to the others.

Hi McAhron and Ray.
That sure looks like a beautiful finish on that folder! The size coukld be great for hunting! And Ray, that "touch up" you did was great work too. I'm enjoying seeing that folder! Frank __________________ Without collectors there would not be makers. |

Thanks frank.It would make a nice hunter because of the belly.I am making a sheath today for carrying as it is to large to ride comfortably in my pocket.
