Another almost done thread......

[Raymond Richard]

Its almost done. This was a blade that I've had for a couple years. It even went on a journey to Tai Goo's but Tai sent it back saying I must have been using my bad eye on the day I ground the false edge. That's been corrected now. I need to let the piece of sambar stag cure for a few days before I epoxy it all together. Its got a 9 3/4" W-5 blade with more wagon wheel fittings. Overall the knife is 14 3/4".

One thing I like to do while working on a knife is hang it up in a window and turn the shop lights off so I can just look at the profile of the knife.

Your work is always very inspiring. I like your idea of hanging the blade up and viewing the profile. I may have to borrow that from you

Nice silouette on this one. I like that long clip and dropped edge.

 

[SBranson]

That silhouette shot is great! So much flow...

I love it Ray, as usual. You have an incredible eye for flow, proportions and aesthetic balance. (And if I know you this is light and super fast in hand.)

Another beauty Ray, :thumbup:. thats one heck of a hill looking out that window, no wonder your always having to fix fence.

Bill, I was just in the shop looking out the window for the hill you mentioned. Now I see it.

 

[B . Buxton]

Ray, that steepness of that hill side is amazing, but how the gravitational pull on that hanging blade causes it to hang at a 45 degree angle is mine blowing.
