Jfowl31's knife modding/making progression thread

Had the spear and spring from the 81 blade delete just begging to be used.

Apologies for spamming this thread lately but I took a lot of time off and have been making good progress in the shop! This one is for a friend of mine. It's some vintage (80s perhaps?) Westinghouse linen micarta that he requested I leave as much of the red as possible. It's hard as a rock and was really fun to work with.

Both of those are Westinghouse Micarta. 1 is some natural linen from roughly the 80s. The other is ivory paper commonly referred to as "Westy". Both should mellow with age and use.
 
Man those turned out fantastic! I’ll def be getting in contact with you.
 
Lot of interesting and very promising things you've been doing, I'm impressed.

When are you going to have a shot at shield inletting?

Regards, Will
