quint Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Just finished up this guy, forged 1095, missed some of the scale but its gonna be one of my shop or hikin blades. Too many small things that were off but great learnin experience and its a good little knife. Handle is brass, stabilized redwood (almost looks like black leather spacers just smoother, and natural black acacia. Biggest thing I learned on this one, shape the brass when its thicker before hand. That stuff conducts heat so grinding it down after the handle is together is a royal pain. Anyways thanks for lookin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loneforge Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Nice job....handle contrast is very cool. I try to shape brass fittings to almost finished shape before gluing. The heat from the brass when grinding has softened epoxy on me in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
