Couple of ring-knives

jester · Mar 6, 2005

My latest creations.

2 Ring-knives with different handle and blade style.

Lenght is about 6,5". thickness 0,16".
RWL34, 60 HRC, 800 grit satin finish.
Handles are made of grade 2 titanium secured with torx screws and buffalo horn with mosaic pins. I love ring-knives, they are fun to make. Although i urgently need to get a hole-saw for the finger hole. It will probably save me more than one hour per knife.

Jester, I bet if you took them to a laser or a water jet cutter you could get them cut at a minimum charge. I'd find out how many they would do for the minimum charge and just have the hole cut out. They look pretty cool! Whats the handle material on the otherone?

I was thinking about having them laser cut already. Its probably economical, if make 10 or 20 of them.

I will definetly check some prices!

Which other knife?

1st is titanium anodized (red-gold-something)
2nd is buffalo horn.

Thanks for your kind words! I really needed some motivation to go on with 2 big (14" / 16") knifes i am working on at the moment...
