Well I gues your "halfway there"

You guys crack me up. ROTFLMAO!

Those are gorgeous knives Andy. What is the blade length and thickness? Do you make a bushie senior? I'm about ready for another fiddleback.

Yes. I make a bushcrafter Sr. with a 1" longer blade. (5")

Although I've never handled one of your knives, Andy, your handles always seem to look the best of any knives I've ever seen. The rest of the knives aren't shabby, either. This design is just awesome. Great job.

Dang bro! Thanks!! I spend a lot of time with files on those handles...

(that means quite a bit, coming from the Queen of eye rolls).

HAHA. My wife has rolled her eyes at every knife I've ever made...

Glad you're liking your Nessie bro!


Thanks Cocomen and Jeff too!!!

Andy
Another outstanding job on those handles!

 

[Sharp Eye]

Those are sweeet knives.

 

[mymindisamob]

What are the specs on your knives Andy?

 

[Fiddleback]

THe Bushcrafter and Bushcrafter Jr are made with 5/32 01 steel. The handle is 4" long. The Jr's blade is 4" and the Sr's blade is 1" longer.

Convex, of course.

 

[mymindisamob]

Thanks! I can't wait!

Thats cool bro. I've marked 4 blanks with tony's pattern. I think you'll really like those!

 

[hollowdweller]

All real nice!:thumbup:

 

[HighDesertWalker]

Couldn't resist. I've spoken for a Jr. in natural canvas micarta. :thumbup:

 

[hollowdweller]

Killer 2 tone again there FB......and love the color on that micarta also

 

[wintermute]

Wow! Good stuff Andy! That two tone one has warmth coming out the ying-yang! The shepherds cross on the ironwood one is definitely a nice touch - hope to see more of those!

 

[Fiddleback]

Definitely more sheppards crosses coming. Gotta figure out a better pin material for them though... I like more contrast.

bloodwood pins?

 

[TwinBlade]

That Black and yellow with red liners is simply exceptional. Nice job...real nice.

 

[fedaykincmndr]

Lookin' GREAT!

 

[Fiddleback]

bloodwood pins?

Maybe. Tell me how you'd make a bloodwood pin 1/8" diameter.

Maybe turn it down??

I dunno.

Can I buy 1/8" bloodwood dowell?

Red or yellow micarta pins, or brass pins would look good. Red micarta shepards cross with red micarta lanyard tube would be great on some nice wood scales.

There aren't red or yellow mikarta rods available. When I do mikarta pins, its actually garolite. Which is industrial mikarta. It doesn't come in a variety of colors. Basically natural color is it.

These pins are FR-4. Which is flame retardant G-10 (fiberglass). Its what your motherboard is made of. I could get white fiberglass rods. Like the stuff golf course flags are made of.

Not everybody has gotten on board with the mikarta pin train, so there isn't much available.
