Getting close on this one...5/32 52100 with contoured scales in Wenge/Black Limba/Leopardwood. About 9 5/8 x 1 1/2 tall. This one fought me the whole way but I endeavored to persevere. ETA I just received my new Ritza Tiger thread in cream color with appropriate needles so I'll be using that for sewing, hopefully today.

Thanks John. And Dave said I couldn't do it without a mill! It just takes me ten times as long to look 1/2 as good as one of his!

Hello all. Thought I'd share my first finished blade in almost a year. My house finally sold so I don't have to spend every waking hour working on it and can get back to making knives. But now this means that I'll have to find a new home for my shop....


Blade is 8 1/2" long, OAL 13 3/4"

Spine thickness 0.087" at the heel tapering to 0.039" at the tip. Thickness above the edge, .020 at the heel and .016 at the tip.

1095/15N20 with ebony handle and brass bolster. (don't ask me how many layers because I made the billet almost 2 years ago, but I think it's around 150)

Here’s a Bowie I finished up for a customer the other day. Inlayed a Marine Corp pin on both sides. Man I really need a better camera and a light box lol.

 

[Greenberg Woods]

Did you finish university?

Technically no. My university is on a quarters system, and I have taken all the needed classes to graduate. HOwever, I took many extra classes to earn my B.S in chem rather than a BA. So i am taking one class a week for 1 hour. Im currently a part time student and running the mostly full time right now.

Congrats Ben! I wondered where you ran off to.

GOt bogged down with a quarter of Thermodyanics, statistical mechanics, inorganic chemistry and a research lab!

Did the ICCE show in Ft.Worth TX over the weekend, had a blast, got to hang out with some of the best makers in the country and picked up a couple of pieces to hang on the wall. Very happy and humbled by them.

Congratulations!

Next weekend I have a show in Pisa (Italy), and I'm struggling with this knife ... I had forgotten that treacherous dust makes carbon fiber!!!

 

[BubbaW]

Wow, that is absolutely gorgeous!

 

[seanj]

Beautiful work. Excellent execution

A bit shy about showing my work lol but here it goes, spring steel and dyed cherry handle, the strange hook was a previously hole in the leaf spring:

 

[BubbaW]

I was wondering what the hook was for. lol

Filework looks really nice

MKNIFE, that looks awesome. especially the checkered guard tip. i hate carbon fiber, it wrecks a bandsaw blade and a counterbore for the loveless bolts every time ! but i love its density.
