Whirly Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Nice mate, and I guess for a 'lefty' you'd just cant the leaf the other way. A well-earned beer...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the idea mate, or in the future have the leaf sitting straight as an ambidextrous option :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancellor Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I love the design of it! You might want to make or buy a wooden or rawhide mallet to use for straightening, so you don't get those areas on your twists where the hammer mars the edges. My second bit of advice (if you want it), is to make the business end more of a.... deal like this. I don't know what it's called: http://www.anvilforgeblacksmithing.co.uk/images/household/kitchenitems/6.jpg It's similar to what you have now, just a bit more elegant looking. Just checked out your knives. You have some serious skill, those are awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should say that mate, these two have already been dispatched to Terra Australis! Got family in rural QLD, they'll be crackin a few stubbies open out on the station with them soon i reckon :) Next project is my first dragon head, then a bottle opener with a dragon head along the same lines as the leafy ones :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
