A throw back. Just pulled this out to put some oil on it.

This is the very first Bowie I ever made. This is of W2 and Ebony handle. It even has a "No Clay Hamon"

Pops

carrys fiber. They don't show those colors, but you should call and ask. I use a lot of blue and orange g-10 spacer. Those colors are true and solid in g-10. Any reason for fiber over g-10?

I talked to Pop. I got his other colors and should get more before he sells out. He said the place in Japan where is was getting the had a change of ownership and he would have to order 10,000 min. I like the colors on the fiber and the price is right.

Here's my shop.

My file jig. Works ok. But already have a new design in mind.

Got this 2x72 grinder off craigslist. He used it for bicycle tube grinding. Have some customizing to do, but it is a start. Already added a foot pedal switch.

These are my current projects. The top one is just about ready for final edge. I did a bluing on it. Didn't turn out the way I expected but I actually like it, kind of an old patina look. The middle 1 will probably just end up being a test piece. The shape didn't turn out the way I wanted to, but it won't go to waste. The last one is a garden knife I'm going to make for my wife.

Once I get this walnut stabilized this will be the handle for that top knife.

I made some plexi glass templates of some designs I want to make. I like it too because it helps me decide what part of the scale I want to use for Each project.

So that is what is going on in my shop.

Jephco has a cinnamon fiber liner that finishes as a nice orange color.

I made some more forward progress today. I started in January with lots of stutter steps forward. Every major element started with anxiety, failure, frustration, research, practice, and slight improvement. The last two steps before a finished product were a sheath and final sharpening. I've been having some mental blocks, especially on sharpening. I need a lot of work on every step, but it felt good to make it through these last two.

I'm going to give this one away on the beginner face book forum. I had a large unused hole in the end of the tang I was going to use for a lanyard but opted to just handle over it. I ground into it when shaping the handle and filled it with JB weld. I hope someone can get some enjoyment out of it rather than sitting in a box.

Finito ................ I choose satin finish on carbon ,need sharpening now and to find some leather for sheath

 

[bike4fun919]

Customer requested a knife to replace the one that belonged in the sheath. He wanted it to look 'era correct' whatever that means . Anyway, I came up with this one.

It looks to me like you captured the look that would go with a sheath like that. He should be happy. That a nice looking little blade. Larry
