edge9001 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I've used your etching method with wonderful results. I made my rig from an unused motorcycle trickle charger, and I used fingernail polish as a resist. just paint it on, scratch off the pattern and the rest is the same. I have not settled on my mark as of yet, but I have a few knives that are in need of one. keep us posted, so far good work, can;t wait to see more.

BigCotton89 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 glad to here it worked out well for you man. I just have to get a good compression method for the leather and glue up and shape. I'll probably do that tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCotton89 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Not real happy with the final results but it'll do. I think I'll try and remake this one and implement the things I've learned not to do and be a bit more careful with the belt sander on that leather and red cedar handle. It's only sanded to 400 grit and finished with a few coats of boiled linseed oil. it's comfortable to hold and it keeps an edge fairly well and chops like a champ but it sure aint too pretty. Maybe I'll be able to make it better next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
