Trying out a Mondrian inspired design...

Got this one ready for heat treat. It's 1084 3/16" thick and it's the biggest knife I've attempted so far. Not sure if my small forge will handle it.
I may wait until my Evenheat arrives to tackle this one. I have some nice Black and Green G10 to use for scales.

Pondering throwing some bronze in there too, maybe on the "micro-hammered" sections

Still in vacation, but wanted to show off the Sicilian olive wood.

Also got some almond wood from my girlfriends countryhouse which seems to have a really nice dark heartwood. And some sweet chestnut that looks like it could have some nice swirls in it.

 

[eric brinkerhoff]

I'm satisfied with these...time to send them off for heat treating!

just pulled the trigger on a new drill press- the ole 1/6hp, 5 sp $120 piece of shit I've been making do with is now destined for the shitty work it was made to do

Congrats, a solid drill press is worth every penny.

SBuzek that's pretty awesome! Congratulations, and quite well deserved by the look of that knife! Beautiful!

Got the first pass on the outline cut, this particular titanium is brutal on my chisel...so much sharpening
