March 27, 201016 yr Well it's spring and so i decided to finish this knife it still needs a sheath and an edge put on it. Thanks for looking and your comments. Bob
March 27, 201016 yr Absolutely BEAUTIFUL Bob! I'd love to see the process for carving out the bird & branch. Is this done with a power tool or is it all hot work???
March 27, 201016 yr Author Absolutely BEAUTIFUL Bob! I'd love to see the process for carving out the bird & branch. Is this done with a power tool or is it all hot work??? Actualy i did no hot work on this knife it is all stock removal. I started by drilling out every bit i could than cut the remaining web out with a jewelers saw,filed it till the outline of the bird,branch and leaves were there and the rest was done with a demel tool and carbide dental burrs. Thanks Bob
