Cable knives, some of my recent

[EdgarFigaro]

Decided I needed to start visiting this forum more.
So here are some of mine.


Here are three of my most recent.

All are made from the same length of cable.
Wrought iron guards.
Handles are figured bubinga on the curved bladed one and cocobolo on the other two.
All have mosaic pins, and two have their sheaths done...as they were on their way to new homes (s-guard and curved ones).

All 3 were clay hardened.

Here is a link to progress pics on my photobucket account.

S-guard recurve bowie (good a name as any I guess)

Curved blade

Recurve
I've not taken better pics of this one yet as I was waiting to make a sheath.

Rough finished ricasso were inspired by Gerhard Wieland.
Sheath work inspired by Magnus Axelson, so love his sheaths.

Questions, comments, and critiques are welcome.

Thanks Bruce, they were certainly fun making.
