November 25, 200916 yr Hears a picture of my latest knife.... I traded this in another forum.... the blade is 5160 leaf spring... forge hardened and tempered... Brass bolsters and pins and the handle scales are red morrell burl from western Australia.
November 25, 200916 yr nice, that red morell burl is good as, i want some! where did you get it? you had that with you at Mikes ( ABA.. QLD ) on saturday didnt you?
November 26, 200916 yr Author the one I had at mikes place was a different knife but the same design... It had York gum burl scales and nickel silver bolsters and pins... and the blade was forged out of coil spring, so it wasn't 5160, but something equally as good, but not as shiny lol.... My scale supplier is in WA here's a link to his E bay store...eBay Australia Shop - WEST AUSTRALIAN WOOD SUPPLIER: PEN BLANKS, KNIFE SCALES GUN GRIPS, BLANKS He,s always got good quality scales and blocks.
November 26, 200916 yr Author Here's a picture of the one i had at mike's.... this one was the first full tang blade I made.
November 28, 200916 yr Awesome work there. Blade and handle finish are outstanding. Be very proud of yourself on this one.
November 29, 200916 yr Author thanks for the comments guys.... i got some bad news the other day.... that first knife that i traded in another forum never made it to it,s destination.... it,s been ether stolen by a mail man or it,s fallen out of it,s package somewhere between Australia and America.... I,m going with the first guess though, because there,s no way it could have cut it,s way out of the package.... there,s some lucky mail man or customs officer out there somewhere with a nice hand made knife.... I knew that knife had another destiny, it stabbed me in the hand about 6 times wile i was polishing it.... hopefully it will do the same to it,s new owner.
