templehound Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 The blade is made from 75Ni8 bandsaw steel with high toughness and has a length of 170 mm. Together with steel pinned sambar scales it results in a very tough combination. Overall length measures 295 mm. The sheath is made from Sea Teak wood and semi tanned leather with a raw hide core. stay healthy Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awrksmokey Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Amazing. I really like the middle fuller on the sheath as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momatt Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I like how you do your handle scales proud of the tang. Its a beautiful knife. Did you grind or forge in the fuller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
templehound Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 Thanks a lot Guys! On 5/13/2020 at 1:04 AM, Momatt said: I like how you do your handle scales proud of the tang. Its a beautiful knife. Did you grind or forge in the fuller? Momatt, neither ground nor forged.I cut it with a tool like a Japanese sen. I can show You the cutting head. The handle was just a piece of flat stock mild steel 260x 30x 6 mm with a square cut out in the middle and a M4 screw to fasten the cutting head. That handle is not there anymore, because I had to cut it down to get some bolster material. Due to the Pandemie I could not get to the next town stack up my bolster material so I took the handle.But making a new one is no big deal. I made the head of 1.2562 and gave him a 60Degree angle.

Momatt Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 TH, I am very interested in this and will have to read up on it. Is the cutter used freehand on a handle or does it sit in a bolder more like a plane? It left a great finish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 It's more like a drawknife used for metal, so freehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
