Awesomeness! That khukuri is looking great!

Thank you my friend

And here is a couple of wakizashis in progress. The tangs aren’t glued in place yet as the scales require further prep before assembly and glue up. The fit is holding the handles on there just by friction at this point.

Memories.

These look great. I love how fast you put your knives out, seems like it takes me so long for each one! Guess I haven't been doing it as long...

he was kinda silly. besides having animal fur clothing and glove to catch the razor boomerang in the desert....

he finds his way in and out of the compound in front of the lord humungus and crew, but no one else seems to be able to.......

This is the most hair raisingest part. Getting the tang frame the right thickness

Thank you. I have a simple shop and a simple process that I’ve just gotten more and more dialed in over time.

Acceptable.

Let’s make sure the ricasso has a consistent satin finish where it pokes out from the handle.

 

[David Mary]

And give the glue lots to bite into.
