Sunday Goin to meet'n Knifes??

[R APPLEBY]

Here is a pair I recently finished waiting for me to finish the sheaths.

Fully file worked and mirror polished. The Guard is 416SS. Handle material is Tortoise shell celluloid on gold leaf with 14 kt gold pins. First one has a 2 3/4 inch blade and is 7 inches over all. The second one has a 2 1/8 inch blade and is 5 1/4 inches over all.

Thanks for looking

Looks nice.

Those are beautiful knives. Was that celluloid difficult to work with?

Very nice looking knives. In the picture the celluloid looks like the real thing.

Really pretty dress knives. The celluloid over gold leaf shows very well.

Celluloid is not hard to work, It must be worked at slower speeds on the grinder or it will burn(if celluloid is worked to fast on the grinder it will literally go up in flames in your hands), I shaped it with a file then wet sanded to 600, then lightly polished it on the buffer with fine polishing compound.


Thanks all for the comments

My thoughts exactly. The gold leaf really makes the celluloid POP!

Very nice!

Although this is not a "true" custom, this is my church knife. The framelock is by Reese Weiland and the blade is a normal Emerson 7. The guy in the pew in front of me carries a Kershaw Chive.
