Well, it is called the blade of woe after all.
I'll soon see if I can manage.
I'll soon see if I can manage.
Yes I do, and 6 new 18 tpi blades.Do at least have a high tension hack saw?
If not, go get one first, they are well with the money, and it will save you lots of time!
Do you mean Sam Salvati?
(my wife cruelly said that she would rather they become salt/pepper shakers than knives...)
Very cool handles. It's great when you have put so many hours into something and your spouse just doesn't see it the same way!!Not much progress on the Blade of Woe itself.
(turns out that working with 3/4" thick stock is quite a pain)
On the other hand the side project of the pair of Bagwell style bowies is coming along.
I have been shaping the African Blackwood handles while waiting for the blades to come back from heat treat.
They just came back today, but I'm not quite finished with the handles.
They need the ruby eyes put in place and the stainless pin on each diamond of the wings.
After fit up they will need some final shaping and polishing.
Anyway, here are Huginn and Muninn.

Yes, I've about run out of excuses. Time to put on the 36 grit and get hogging...looking good, but how about that Woe blade
my thoughts exactly....(I've been feeling these last few posts have been a little bait-'n-switch)looking good, but how about that Woe blade
