Utility blade with cherry.

[BReid126]

Still some finish work needed on this but I couldn't resist posting. This is a utility all purpose blade. 1/8 inch 1080 hand sanded to 800 grit. Cherry scales with some beautiful grain. I'm pretty proud of this one.

Thanks for looking. Comments welcome.

Looks like a dandy of a slicer to me. I generally prefer knives with fewer pins in the handle, but I do like that mosaic; and you're right, those scales are sharp lookin!

I'm pretty proud of this one.

You have a right to be proud. That's a very smart design, with top-shelf materials, and you executed it well.

P.S. Got any more of that nice cherry?

what part of the tree did you get the scales from? thats nice. also, is it stabilized?

I like it. I might have had the pins (or the center of the double pins) in a line, but that is just my personal aesthetic.

Can't tell you what part the cherry came from. My dad used to do woodworking and cut this about 10 years ago. I plan on sealing it with linseed oil. Thanks for the compliments.

Looks exactly like some cherry crotch wood blocks / scales I have.

Come on, who laughed? I did. Guess I'll never be mature. Oh well, the crotch wood is beautiful to look at. Even better in your hand. The way the light hits......lovely.
