ThomasPowers Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 "mistakes" all end up in my possession as my using blades; my perfect knives all belong to other people! (Save for a large dagger I did 33 years ago where the original buyer disappeared and my wife to be requested it as her wedding present from me so she would have something I had made...)

Graham Gates(Ionic Muffin) Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 Eh. well it broke while I was working on it(probably for the better) I have converted it to a partial tang and have glued up with scales and pins. I will test it after its cured to ensure its integrity. Otherwise I will go ahead and get someone to weld it up for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Gates(Ionic Muffin) Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 Ok. I think i was able to finish the knife well despite the setbacks. It has been holding up to every stress within reason. I would not baton with this knife but I think that for cutting and slicing jobs it will do just fine.

-Quint- Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Definitely looks very nice, I'm sure it'll hold up to whatever light duty he puts it through. Nice recovery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
