Nice job Peter!

Jeff

thanks :thumbup:

Looks good. I like the matte, oil finish on the wood.

it came out nice, i actualy applied polyurethane a couple of times but would wipe it off before it dried to see what happned, don't necesarily like the shiny finish, think it treated the wood without forming thats hiny surface, going to keep checking on it to see if it needs something more done

Took this knife

And modified to a drop point. Waiting on some pin stock and some g10 liner to start the new handle.

Got back around to the Old Hickory mod this weekend. Glued scales, liner, and pins in place.

Cut and filed excess pin material.

Shop is still under construction, so I made do for an anvil to peen the pins.

Roughed out the handle shape with an 80 grit belt. Tried to chamfer the edges, but I wasn't being very consistent so I quit for the night. May try that by hand, or adjust the handle shape to make that a little easier.

The OH paring knife was just a 1/4 tang. Here's the view from the top.

And the bottom.

Looks good. Thanks for the "in progress" pics.

awesome! good stuff guys!

 

[glennbad]

Good stuff GreenTrout. Sometimes when I am making a knife with a contoured handle, I will get the dremel out with the mini sanding drums. They help me to get to a rough contour quicker than sanding by hand.

Can't wait to see the finished product!

Love the Orange spacer with the Green Micarta greentrout.

And speaking of Orange, here is a Spyderco SPY DK Slipit I dressed up a bit.
The solid Orange was a bit much for me so I used a black touchup pen to paint the recessed checkering.

looks good!

 

[1066vik]

I like the looks of that a lot!

I have a UKPK that I like a lot.

Thanks, I love 'em both.
The UKPK for the one hand opening and the DK for it's slimmer blade and resulting smaller foot print.
Both are super light weight too.

I reshaped the handle some and finished to 330 grit and I'm happy with it. I may touch up the handle some more and the blade edge needs quite a bit of work but I'm happy with it for my first mod

Looking good!

Just something silly to keep me busy for the evening. Was wandering through goodwill looking for something unrelated and saw this little cleaver looking back at me. It had a sticker for 99 cents and I figured it was worth bringing home.
Before


After



Just got a few new stones and DMT plates for the edge pro and found an excuse to use one of the DMT plates. It's not perfect, but it's just a novelty item to me. It was about butter knife sharp with some large gouges in the blade before with a terrible looking handle. An it of sandpaper, steel wool, linseed oil, and some time on the EP and the handle looks halfway decent and it's filleting unsuspecting pieces of paper!

Seems to me we have one of those little cleavers here, I think it came with one of those sausage and cheese gift boxes.

Here's a back pocket sheath I made for my favorite Buck. The black leather is from my old Army boot. The 112 came with a broken tip. Sent it back to Buck with another 2 dot era 112. They swapped in the good blade and put a new blade in the other one. The other one went to my nephew or niece when the both got 112s as gifts last summer.

 

[JK Knives]

Nice job on the sheath, and as most here already know, Buck knives are my favorites.

Seems to me we have one of those little cleavers here, I think it came with one of those sausage and cheese gift boxes.

That's exactly what I planned to do with it. Put it out on the cheese and sausage tray next time we put one out for company.

 

[1066vik]

I used to have one of those - it was great for chopping up carrots, green beans, small zukes, cheese, salami, etc...

 

[glennbad]

Here's a couple I finished for a raffle as part of our companies' fundraiser dinner that we do every year.

Very nice! I've always liked the Frontier Series.
