I just finished up this small utility knife, I forged this from a nicholson file with out having a real plan or style in mind. I guess it is a "leaf" shape blade. I clay coated the blade for the quench and it shows a less than perfect temper line.

A 416ss finger guard, stained figured curly maple handle, with Tung oil finish, modest silver wire inlay (my best yet), raised head copper pin and a Moran inspired bass wood lined raised pattern sheath.

The knife is 7 7/8" OAL 3 1/2" blade.

Nicely done. It's got a nice 'old world' appeal. The handle, for whatever reason, makes me think it would be at home on a wooden ship.

Be proud. :)

man i really like this.i want to make some scales for a becker necker.i know it nowhere near the craftsmanship as this.but i dont even know where to start.

and the reason i ask about the time is because im a college student..so time is lacking.
 
cool man, the wire inlay is very nice and I like how it's echoed in the sheath:thumbup:. Blade profile is rad as well.
Coop I think that the handle gives you that sense because Steve removed one of the pegs from the steering wheel of his pirate ship for it:D

Nah, you got plenty of time. When college isn't eating your time, maybe in summer, or on a saturday, or when you graduate, you'll make it a priority and learn how to do it.

For that Becker, first, decide what you want to put on for the scales. Then get the material. If you've got something to make the scales out of, it's a lot easier to start working when you actually have time.
