Rojo Pedro Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Another coil spring and mesquite collaboration with my wood working bro. Could use some more polishing but I am pretty happy with the shape and learned alot about grinding after comments on my last one - thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 For my self I am not a fan of the recaso on knives that have wide blades that drop below the finger like that (kitchen knife prejudice I guess) but the notch makes that knife so much easier to sharpen. If one is going for the kitchen that is the only change. If you are going for a field/skinning knife a bit fuller handle tord the rear (think tear drop) might be in order, but that depends on how big a hand one has. Bottom line is I would use it despite my personal prejudices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyO Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Looks good for a 4th, Rojo. On 7/2/2019 at 9:07 AM, Rojo Pedro said: Could use some more polishing but... Then why did you stop? I always wonder when I read this..... I'm curious about the wooden plugs that look like are in the handle. Good job fitting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rojo Pedro Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 Thanks gents Charles, I hear what you're saying about the recasso and now that I look at it is is kind of goofy Billy, unfortunately its time. Its a gift for a friend and ran out. I drilled a couple bigger holes in the tang to reduce some weight and brother filled them with plugs and yes he did a good job fitting them. I think it look cool and is a very comfortable fit to my hand at least thanks for looking ! Cant wait to try another but no time to forge lately :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
