kevin (the professor) Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hello Everyone, I decided to have some fun and make something simple but enjoyable. I made a little pukko-like thing. The blade is a little rounder and the grind is relatively high. The handle bends and swells, and fits my hand like a glove. 1095 full quench tempered x 2 x 1 hour ea. @ 385F 4.5" long blade 1.125" wide 9" oal handle mild steel, leather, aluminum, and walnut (yeah, I said it - ALUMINUM. If you can make a Ferrari engine out of it, it is good enough to help me grip my knife. Strong, light, easy to work, doesn't corrode easily. Better than a plastic spacer or a lump of petrochemicals ) OK - I was exaggerating the rant. Still, I like aluminum for small spacers. It has the qualities I am looking for, and I like better than plastic (but not better than horn). As always, your comments, suggestions, bits of wisdom, etc. are welcomed. Thanks, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
