I don't seem to have rights to post in the knife making photo gallery so I thought I'd share my work in progress here in general discussion (moderators - I hope that's ok).
Anyway, it was a very productive weekend in the shop. I was able to devote enough time to get the handle materials drilled, countersunk, shaped, re-etched and mostly finished. I have a feeling this one is going to turn out very nice! I think the meteorite turned out great for my first time working and re-etching it. The blade and backspacer have yet to be made as well as any filework. Thanks for looking and I'll post more pictures when it's finished!
