HEAP of JEEP Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I've always been intimidated by feather patterns, but decided to give it a try. I love how it came it, and will absolutely be trying some other variations in the coming months. Blade Length: 6" Handle: 4.5" 1080 and 15n20, bone bolsters, walnut scales, black leather spacers This took me about 2 and a half weeks from start to finish, which is the most time I've spent on a single knife in quite a while... I wish I had made the handle just a bit bigger... my wife says it fits her hand perfectly, so I guess that's not terrible, but even for a kitchen knife, I'd like it to be just a bit bigger for my hand. The bone also came out looking kind of gray and dirty. Other bone I've used has come out white and clean looking, but I guess I got a bad cow or something with this batch.

John in Oly, WA Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Nice job on the pattern. I too like how it fits the profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidF Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 That turned out amazing! Incredible work. I actually really like the color of the bone. It fits perfect with the feather pattern and wood. 10 out of 10 on the blade and it looks every minute of the two and a half weeks paid off.
