OH BABY

 

[gooeytek]

Pancake sheaths are good. I prefer them.

 

[David Mary]

Grinder and dremel work done and ready for hand sanding and bevel grinding. Monday.

After this and the kettlebells the morale is effectively lifted. But I’m hungry. So so hungry

 

[David Mary]

Probably adjust it more with the dremel actually

 

[David Mary]

Never mind, food food food food food

More of that pizza and tartar sauce I keep seeing in your photos? Haha

Great work! That dagger is turning out awesome.

 

[David Mary]

Thanks! And nope that’s only once a week

Just when I thought it was safe to check Bladeforums from the grocery store....

Good ol’ reliable pancake. Not the minimalist profile I prefer but almost zero risk of scratches upon completion.

Of course YMMV depending on how you carry it. All my knives get scratched up in use anyway because I vertical carry and get all kinds of shop dust in my sheath.

Nice, although I will still always be a fan of a taco sheath over pancake if possible, if it might see pocket carry.

 

[DocJekl]

Anyway this one was a success.

Back to the dagger for a bit.

But, I suppose in this case, that pancake sheath is a better option than scratches on that knife. It looks great in that color and pattern.

Just lacks finishing. Possibly not suitable for dispatching giant evil transforming robots.

Nah, but you could jam up their gears a bit!

 

[David Mary]

Yes. Let me make sure everything is as nice as possible first.

Time for one more coffee break.

 

[David Mary]

Had a change of plans, and called it a night. The hand sanding can start tomorrow on all three. Now it's dinner time for Smokey and me.

That came out beautiful.

 

[David Mary]

Thank you gooeytek ! I'm looking forward to how it will be after the handle is sanded.
