Christmas gift!

[ragnik]

Thought you guys might like to see this it was a christmas gift for my wifes uncle! No one told me that once you start making knives everyone in the family wants one LOl.

Anyway Spes:

Steel 1084heat treated at home and 600 grit hand rubbed finish

Wood: honduras mahogany linseed oil finish

OAL 7inches
BL 2 1/2 inches
Bolsters are brass and it has a brass thong hole tube

I also made the box it is in it is made out of Oak and finished with tung oil.

Once again sorry for the lousy photography but at least this time it was my mother inlaws fault not mine I will try to do better as my christmas gift was a digital camera so next knife i turn out I will be playing around with it!


Any and all comments welcome

Ps the blade looks a little funny cause it has a coat of oil on it I guess when they took the pic they didnt wipe it off!!!

Up late; can't sleep, oh well..
Really nice work..
Don't forget I'm within cheap mailing distance if you get a bunch of knives and you don't know what to do with them all ..
Heh, heh..
You'll find out that you have more relatives than you ever knew about once you start making these highly addictive forms of art..Ain't it grand ???
Got my neck knife mailed out; and now starting on a bowie blade I got from a friend... Gotta mail him and ask about file work on the guard, etc..
Be well
