I can't help myself! (another cord-wrap)

[Burchtree]

I'm sorry, if you guys get tired of me posting these, let me know. I had an order for one, and I figured I might as well make two while I was at it.

This one is 1095, and I tried to show it in the second picture, but it has two 45-bevels running the length of the spine. They serve no purpose, but I was having fun on my disc grinder. You can see that it has an untraditional distal taper. Thanks for giving 'er a gander, and any comments are welcome.

Very nice! I like those a lot. Do you know of some sort of tutorial online for doing cord wrapped handles? I've been looking for a while but no luck.

I'm just getting into knifemaking and that is one of the things I would like to attempt.

Again, keep up the great work

Thanks to both of you. Hammerface -- here is a good start:

There are a lot of different styles, just grabbing some boot strings and trying out and practicing is your best bet.

Michael, trhat is sweet - a perfect user size, and that thin blade will slice, slice, slice. The hamon - yumm, and the wrap looks sweet. You know I like this ! Jason.
