February 23, 20188 yr 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.
February 23, 20188 yr Thats a real winner. Great job getting the pattern to flow with the profile. I also like the handle design quite a bit.
February 23, 20188 yr The handle shape is elegant. And the feather pattern is simply stunning! Very well done sir.
February 24, 20188 yr 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.
February 25, 20188 yr Really like the pattern you have on your knife, Heap of Jeep! Just learning pattern welding and really enjoy what you and others have been cranking out!
March 7, 20188 yr Looks wonderful. I have been hankering to try a feather pattern. Any tips for someone trying that pattern for the first time?
