Get some rest my friend. Or enjoy Friday night

 

[David Mary]

I have like 17 seconds of Friday left. But it's fun! lol

Apparently where the riverhawk falls short the speed weasel excels. Cutting mushrooms for instance is the domain of the weasel and man it works great. The hawk however cut more than it's share of zip ties and wire shielding today. 2 belt knives and no folders today.

Ah that's why David twisted my arm into a 3rd knife... You have to buy them in 3's

Well, he's shipping 2 out to me and I have 1 that we are in the planning stages, so I guess that fits the "3" criteria...

Sames! My first 3 shipped together.

Picked up another that shipped a few days later. and then 2 more for the patina run so that’s 3 more .

When my Badger Scout gets here it will be 2 for me, so I guess I will have to find a 3rd.

What are we looking at?

Sorry my phone did the upside down thing again making it harder to distinguish what's going on. That is Indian ebony being hand sanded with a 220 grit ceramic belt strip.

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

Wet sanding the handle I believe.

 

[Crag the Brewer]

What are we looking at?

I can't tell if it's a vice shot or a leaky underneath engine block oil leaking stabbed shot?

*my phone is small, and it looks gruesome....haha

Here it is after 400 grit. The look and feel of this material is very nice in my opinion. Thank you again BlindMouse2of3 for insisting on it for your last build. On paper it's higher hardness than most woods I use, yet somehow so easy to work with. I love it!
