Seeing some great integrals recently I decided to challenge myself to make one.
Boy they are not easy!!!:o

A big thanks to Mike Quesenberry for your help on this. :)

Steel is 1095 with 4" blade and an OAL of 8 3/8"

scales are stabilized redwood burl.

Sheath to come but as I'm busy in the "messy" shop I will do my sheaths after the present batch of knives are done.

Stu that looks fantastic! Way to go man:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
That looks just terrific to me.

You SERIOUSLY need to make a trip to the big smoke for the CKG show. Bring Lorien with you - we'll have a blast.

Yay!:D:cool:

Excellent work as always Stuey :) !!
I've had the pleasure of inspecting this beauty in person, and can say that it's a perfect creation . And your first integral to boot !
Sometimes I hate you Stu ... just sometimes
ok , I'm kidding, but maybe a bit jealous
Cheers

Thanks!! There is a long thin swedge that you can't see very well. I really have to take clearer photos.

Mike really talked me through the scales and specifically the liners. He told me Burt Foster told him so I guess a thanks is due to Burt as well. :)

Ha Ha Shant..

@ Roger and Lorien, I will certainly be making the trip to TO for the show but not this year. Gotta save some $$ first.. and get better. .:o It will be fun.
 
Awesome job! Looks like you have been doing integrals for some time. I like your results. :thumbup:

Stuart, ALL the thanks goes to Burt. I was just sharing the info that was shared with me.

That is one awesome integral:thumbup:. Really like the look of the taper on the spine.
 
Thanks for sharing it with me then Mike. And it was good discussing other topics with you too.
