2 Clip Points with Burls

[David Loukides]

Hi Guy's,
Just finished a couple of Clip point working knives.
The top one is Claro Walnut. The bottom is Australian York gum burl.
They were forged out of 1084 and have a 1500 grit finish.
The Claro walnut has a 4 & 3/4" blade.
The York gum has a 5 & 1/8" blade.
Guards are 416ss and soldered.
Copper and G10 spacers.
The Claro Walnut block has a fissure on the other side that was exposed when I formed the handle. Though the stabilizing filled it I will most likely give this one to a family member. That is the luck of the draw when using Burls.
The York gum handle came out nice.
Hope you like them.

Thanks for Looking.

Thanks Guy's for your comments.
Hey Keith,
I always wanted to visit Australia just to see the great trees and burls you have. I have seen a picture of one burl that took up a lot of room on a flat bed trailer. They used a bulldozer to pull it off.
Thanks Again Guy's,
Dave
