Here's the latest knife out of my shop. It's been a long time since I've used burlap. It was fun making this one!
This is a new design for me. It started out as a bar of 5/32" 1095 from Aldo. I tapered from the Ricasso to both ends. My first attempt at a double tapered knife!
I hand sanded the blade to a nice 400 grit. The Ricasso is hand sanded to 600 grit.
The bolsters are black micarta with a copper spacer. A black liner starts the whole thing off. The burlap was made from a Latin America burlap coffee bag. I made the handles myself. The colors you see in the handle are from the logo that was on the coffee bag.
I hope you like it!
Comes with the leather sheath pictured. It's a handcrafted Premium leather sheath hand tooled by myself.
(sorry for the poor pictures. I'm "between" cameras now and used my cell phone)
