Title: We are beginning to get back to decent health...so had some shop time
Post by: pappy on March 04, 2018, 07:09:19 PM
We have been stuck in doors so long, but now that Winter is moving on we have been out a little. We are doing a lot better with our health, but still not planning on any call making, we still enjoy making the knives as we can take our time doing so. this is one I finished this weekend, 13" long with 7-1/2" cutting edge. Made it from an old cross cut saw, I left some of the original pitting in the blade for some character. The guards are copper (soldered & pinned) the handles are Bloodwood with brass pins. Super sharp knife, I annealed it them tempered it to around 59RC....now onto the sheath.

Good to hear you're doing better Jack, the Damascus sharp finger I got from you a few years back has ridden on my belt every turkey hunt since. Love your work, man. Gorgeous knife!
