Number 11 done

[i4Marc]

Woohoo! Man the knives are just flying outta here. Seriously, I don't know how some of you guys work so fast.

Blade length: 5.5"
OAL: 11"
Steel: 1/4" 80CrV2
Handle: War Wood
I made the sheath

Looks great! You already seem to have a style.

My style is a ding on the spine of the blade during handle shaping haha.

 

[Barry Clodfelter]

Great looking knife Marc!

Wow. That is a very nice knife. You definitely have some talent. How did you finish the war wood? I have a couple sets to glue up this week.

 

[i4Marc]

Thanks guys.

Lo/Rez, I got the handle very close to final shape on the 2X72 then a little file work and on to the sandpaper. I sanded to 2500X then hand buffed with a paste made with green chrome compound.

Really great knife!
I especially like the tapered tang and shaped handle.

I also like the simple and elegant makers mark.

Looks great! Really like the contoured handle.

I laughed out loud when I read that. You don't know how this project kicked my butt. It was a struggle at times.


Thanks everybody for your kind remarks.
