01/walnut recurve (lots of pics)

[atakach]

Well I had posted this awhile back, and finally decided to finish it, and for a change, actually show the finished pics.

It's 01, and figured walnut. I havent got any sheath pics yet, cause it's not finished yet.

owell here they are:

yeah I know it's just a bunch of pics of the same knife, but they seemed to be taking so good for my standards, so I figured I'd take a bunch, (shoulda seen how many there were b4 i deleted the bad ones....)

that is a really fun looking knife.
You must've had a lot of help from the possums to get those pictures to turn out so good

thanks lorien, but there all dead, remember, they froze to death last week, and I shot the only survivor, for doing #2 in my bucket of flux...lol

 

[Lorien]

oh, flux!

I think this knife turned out great. You are showing good progress grasshopper.

Is this some 1/4" stock?

I like the knife for sure.

 

[atakach]

3/16'' stock, im saving the 1/4'' stock i have for some bigger stuff

 

[Lorien]

bigger stuff, eh? How big is this bad boy?

 

[atakach]

specs are 14 3/4'' o.a., 9 1/2'' blade, and 1 3/4'' wide., 3/16'' stock, flat ground with slight convex edge.

the blade was finished to 400grit, then bead blasted,etched, then buffed lightly....good user finish
