Cool knives, I realy like the blue handle Butch

 

[Bigfattyt]

I think I recognize that burlap handle. Didn't you sell some nice looking slabs of that just a few days ago here?

 

[butcher_block]

i have sold a little of it out to a few people. i ll know who all i need to get back to on monday after the show to see what colors i have left and what colors i need to make more of

 

[Leatherface]

I have bought some from Butch and can HIGHLY recommend his Mycarta

 

[RHankins]

Hey Dave lets see your blades made with Butch's MyCarta

 

[Leatherface]

they arent done yet...they are going on a custom from Justin G

 

[L.K.Smithy]

black felt mycarta with red felt liner

black denim

i like the black felt allot, it has an organic look and feel to it. nice and hard. its my new favorite handle material. i dont have a press so i lay up my mycarta on foil between two blocks of wood and put my anvil on top. next time im going to try parking my jeep on it.

[RHankins]

Damn LK that middle blade looks like a "Killer" ...Sweet.
Try using some C Clamps

 

[L.K.Smithy]

the jeep will be so much more dramatic though ... less work than turning those little screws down.

[jaislandboy]

not a great pic but here's some tuttifrutti(?) from Butch...

 

[RHankins]

I think that's called "Smashed Hippie" looks cool!

Ive made several batches from my old wranglers. I use the fiberglass resin. I have a hard time getting a smooth finish on mine. Ive even turned it on a lathe for pens. Seems to take me forever to sand it down though. Maybe its cause I just make it up in a universal size and have to use what I made for scales and all . Sometimes it way to thick for scales
