Calling Out Rick Marchand!

[sizzler]

I don't understand hemp wrap, is it dipped in something to keep it from soaking up smelly juices?

But yes. Maybe it'll be a beer drinking night at Fiddleback Forge! Lets start a thread.

Sizzler, the hemp fibres are treated with superglue, or some resin so that its much like a sculpted mycarta thats added after the knife is done. Two makers I really respect do work that has that kinda details, Rick and John Cohea. Cohea uses a lot of rawhide.

Rick, what kinda sheath are you thinking? I assume you wanna do the sheath.

 

[Rick Marchand]

i'm afraid to say.... you might think its ugly.

 

[Fiddleback]

Don't be a girl.

But ... no doubt ... very, very manly.:thumbup:

Holly cripes!! I had never seen John's work before today.... he does that little scroll thingy on everything. This is freaking me out. I know Daniel Winkler has a style I admire... however, this guy is me .... BUT REALLY GOOD!!

Damn you Andy... damn this subforum...

I have to email Mr Cohea now.....

Come to Blade Show. I'll introduce you.

 

[Fiddleback]

Yep. Ankle fat.

 

[sizzler]

Thanks, always wondered about the wrap style. Those Cohea pieces look really nice.

 

[Fiddleback]

BTW. Rick, you need to join Paleo Planet. The Bladesmithing section there is really fantatic.

 

[sizzler]

I looked at your site Rick. Very nice, I think that blanket pin is going on my short list of "must haves.":thumbup:
