A couple neckers

[ilbruche]

I finished these up yesterday. I profiled the blades out of 3/32" 1095 and sent them to David "The Man" Farmer for grinding and heat treating.

Both have a 3/16" brass pin and 1/4" lanyard tube. The drop point has redwood burl scales and the one I call a "mini santoku" has purpleheart scales.

You got that right. While making the drop point I managed to cut my thumb through the nail and out to the tip. I bled like a stuck pig, but thanks to superglue It's better after a week and a half.

Friggin' awesome man! What are the sheaths going to look like?

 

[j williams]

I could have used ipe. The ipe I have is waaaaaay more red than this, almost too red. As far as red woods go I'd rather do bloodwood or purpleheart. Ipe is too hard to work for an impatient guy like me.

This one is ipe.

 

[bearthedog]

That is a nice one. What's the story behind it?

Wow I love those little blades. Especially the one with red-er handle. You make some nice knives.

 

[stingray4540]

Wow, those are two beauties!
Your knives look as good as your sheaths.
