Beautiful work, especially for your age!

I'm over in Lansing! You should go check out the Great Lakes Rendezvous on July 27th in Wayland. It's put on by Shawn Moulenbelt of 51 Bravo Knives and it was a really good time last year!

Cool! Ill be sure to check it out!

These are all for me to use in my own kitchen, so not finished perfectly everywhere. AEBL 62HRC. Handles are K&G stabilised wood, curly ash and spalted silver maple, which I harvested myself, and the folk here recommended I get some dyed. Handles all shaped on the belt grinder, which was a first for me, I usually spend about 3 hours each with files. These went much faster. The smallest one has an s-grind (10" wheel and a lot of hand blending), just to see what it was like. Cuts like crazy.

Any advice for removing tung oil from a blade without using abrasives?
Apparently some got into the paper towel i had around the blade, and stuck it to the blade. I'm currently soaking it in some thinners, and worst case i can use some Tripoli powder

Paint stripper. If the tung oil has cured, it is more like dried paint than soluble oil.

thanks, i decided to polish it off and do another etch. that seems to have worked. I'll have to be more cautious next time with the handle

That is a solid and good looking slipjoint.
Did you dye that antler yourself?
I really lije the looks

First leather work I've done in like 6 years or something. There's a reason I make almost exclusively kitchen knives nowadays haha! But I'm happy with how this one turned out.

 

[navman]

re-evaluated and recontoured the handles on some Puukkos today. The coffin shape seemed a bit too bulky and were not popular. There are MUCH more comfortable. AEBL (.130) hollow ground.

Oh...and new pants too!

Enjoying myself and practicing with my pantograph.
Simple paper micarta in wood and bakelite in paper micarta.
I might try the last one with green bakelite in yellow G10 or white bone.
