Pictures here! On the Bench

me and my kid went over to Stuart Branson's place yesterday to heat treat the knife I forged there a little while ago. I love visiting with Stuart- he's a good friend

there is no judgment here in my subbie, you can be a niece if you like and I will support that

when I gave this to Adi, it was during her party with about 20 other 6 year olds and a pile of presents mostly in pink boxes. I think she was a little overwhelmed and didn't quite know what to think, she didn't seem particularly impressed. I'm counting on the fact it'll grow on her with time. Maybe a pink scabbard would help 🤔

Pink thread for the stitching of the scabbard. I do it all the time.

love me a WiP!
but...I'm just too busy, and WiPs are hella time consuming
I'll post some pics here, though, as I progress
it's gonna be a cool knife- Cruwear and Richlite
 
I love Cruwear but what is Richlite?
BTW it looks like the perfect size for daily carry.

Richlite is recycled cardboard and thermoset resin. Kind of like paper micarta. It's a really interesting material, and it appeals to my environmentalist side since it's recycled, recyclable, non toxic and manufactured here in the PNW. You should check out their website, it's neat stuff. My first time using it so we'll see how it looks. It's touted as having good dimensional stability as well. It has a nice feel to it, not like a plastic.

I think the steel stock is a little too thick for neck carry, but we'll see. Definitely a good edc size for sure

here's a new pattern I've been working on. It's based on my Albatross model, and following the sea bird theme I'm calling it Cormorant. It's a custom commission that I took on at Blade Show

Would you consider jimping on the butt end just above the rear (lanyard) hole for thumb purchase in reverse grip? That would make four points of contact with your fine tooth file work, which I find much more stable than wider.

Looks fantastic! 🤙
