Three finger cru-wear from scrap.

[Willie71]

I like to make these little knives out of drops when cutting out other knives. This one is 1/16” cru-wear @Rc63, 0.005” behind the edge, 15dps. I’m upset at myself over the scales, as they had gorgeous texture, but I didn’t thin them enough before glue up, and I ended up grinding most of the texture off. It’s a pretty rough finish, but the new owner is quite fine with that, as long as it cuts and holds its edge well.

I find you don’t get stag to fit the knife, you make the knife to fit the stag.

They’re quite stress free to make, as its just scrap, and if it sucks, throw it out. My relatives have quite the selection of bird&trout knives and papers from scrap.
