Those ones get the teeth. Note there’s a lefty one too.

 

[Lucky Dog Knife Co]

Those dogs have teeth! Very thoughtful of you to include a lefty version as well.

Welcome to David Mary Custom, where I’m so hilarious I don’t even have to be trying to make a joke for you to laugh.

Those are laserific and ready to work. Just need final scotchbrite finish and makers mark. Sheaths too.

I've been told that buying handle material is an addiction for some knife makers. But... I can quit any time I want.

You may ship it to me whenever you like.

I will take you up on that offer at some point!!

Just noticed the first two teeth from the heel are damaged!



Literally under a minute later:



My serrations are so easy to maintain. Anyone who can follow instructions could repair and resharpen my serrations with a dremel. Easiest of peasies.

I’ve been making knives over ten years if you include buying pakimascus blanks to put handles on well before I was making real knives for a living. In all that time I never made one of these, until now, despite constantly getting annoyed.

See something poking out from below board!

It’s a “Bowie”

One more step I forgot to mention yesterday was that I still needed to pointify the serrations. That’s done, and then the 120 grit finishes were brought up to coarse, then medium scotchbrite, got the blades taped for molding and boltaron cut for sheaths.

There may be a secret side project in there as well. And if there is, it’s already claimed. But I can make more like it.
