BenF Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Hello all, This is my second complete (as good as) peice. My first is over in the Swordsmithing thead, which is now just waiting for me to fit the pommel. I posted this on the Bladesmiths Forum a few days ago, but thought id also post it here... Sadly, its not perfect, I caught the blade on the linisher which shows, along with some other scratchs from early sanding which didn't show until the final polish. Something I need to improve on in my next projects. The Knife Overall Length: 315mm Blade Length: 95mm Thickest Point on Spine: 2mm Weight: 190g Steel: 1095 Handle: Pippy oak, with knots filled with polyethylene resin mixed with aluminium powder. All comments welcome, and thank you for looking!! Handle scales before fitting and final polish The knife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch4ging Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Nice job. I had thought about doing copper like that in the handles. Looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKLabs Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I never would've thought about copper, i bet that would look great on a dark wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenF Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Thank you all for the kind comments. @mitch4ging I hadn't ever considered copper. But I had planned on doing another with bronze: as a patina can be applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
