welded cable seax

[kevin (the professor)]

Hello Everyone,
this is a set of pics from my new shop and of the first knife I have made since moving into it. I have been busy building things for the shop since we bought our first home, and now I have to catch up with making knives.You will also see my new Grizzly grinder in the pics. It is an amazing step up from the Delta 1/4hp I was using. quiet and smooth, too. But, I still use the Delta for handles, smaller belt width and slower speed.

Knife:
welded cable
about 11.5" blade
16" oal
bird's eye maple, leather spacer, and nickel silver fittings

I am going to weld more cable soon. It is great to see patter up close.

thanks for looking,

Kevin

Those benches are TOO clean, get busy:D

The knife looks great but you need to work on your photos so we can really appreciate your work, i'd like to see that pattern.

Thanks,

Yeah, they will collect a deep layer of grit, sawdust, oil, and a little blood over the coming years.

I apologize that I need to learn to take better photos. I am really lousy with cameras. Esp. digital ones. I understand the old fashioned kind better.

thanks for looking,

I had the same problem with photos..believe me I ain't no sort of photographer but ever since i got a Sony H20...man the pics I am able to take are light years ahead of wehat I was taking before... The H20 isn't all that much $$$ ..not when you see all that it does and boy it makes even my photos look decent... Just a suggestion..if you can afford the tarriff on it..go for it...
