G'day all, have not posted anything for a while, but I have been busy, really.
Showed this one at the Australian Knifemakers Guild Show last weekend and got asked what I had called it. I had'nt come up with a name and the fella that asked said I should call it " MISCHIEF " and there you go.
Specs:
Laddered W's
BL 14", 350mm,
OAL 20 1/4", 510mm
W pattern guard with copper and stainless spacers
Ringed Gidgee handle, domed pin.
Comments welcome and thanks for looking.
Cheers Keith


 
Wow! Keith, is that steel press laddered or cut/accordioned and then opened up?
 
What a beast. Really like the pattern. Great materials and work on the big stabby beast. Thanks for sharing.

I'd love to hear your finishing process for the Gidgee if you'd be up for sharing Keith. You really brought that piece to life! :)

Hi Nick, Thanks for the comments mate, I'm sure you must have a spy in my shop somewhere :eek:LOL
Ringed Gidgee would have to be my all time favourite timber handle material. I don't do anything special, hand rub to 1000, a liberal coat of ( Organoil ) Scandinavin oil and rub it in with some 1200 grit. Wipe of the excess oil and leave it for a while. Give it a polish on the swansdown mop ( loose flannelete ) and give it a coat of Renaicance wax. That piece I used was the one of the best I've seen for a while, take it out into the sunlight and wow those golden bands just pop.
Cheers Keith
 
Thanks for all your comments guys. Its great to get some feedback on your work.
Cheers Keith
 
"Organoil and swansdown"?!? Is that some kind of witches brew??? ;) :D

Thank you for sharing that Keith, it is much appreciated. :)
