Kearnach Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 So, this is the first knife I've made since joining the ABS, and the first since joining here too... 1084 Carbon steel, gaboon ebony, stainless bolts and lanyard tube, and red and black liners. There's several flaws in this blade, and I intend to spend another hour or two hand sanding, but some of the mistakes aren't really correctable (big grinder scratch in the ricasso) without taking the scales off and rehandling it. I intend to keep it as a reminder to get it right before I move on to the next step :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJAX Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 looks good, the gaboon ebony and the red liner go nicely together. i was wondering what sort of forge you use, other than that keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
