…who find me a little old-fasioned, mostly useing my handtools, to form the handle of my knives ๐
but I must say that I find it very relaxing (most of the times ๐ )
here you can see what I’ve been relaxing with today ๐
…let my files rest over the weekend, the weather bullentin promise sun and warm weather ๐
(ย or is it becouse mrs. don’t work? ๐ย )
here comes some photos of the progress so far ๐
and when the guard is formed I’m working my way backward to form the rest of the handle ๐
…are now glued together with 24 hr. epoxi ๐
and after the visit in the bandsaw it looks like this ๐
draw some helplines befor it’s time to start forming theย handle, I guess it’s going to bee hard work for my files ๐
…this weekend ๐ฆย but I have at least glued the blade to the bolster ๐
and cut up the giraffe bone and glued the two pices together ๐
…sew a sheath for that grey knife right now, so I started to sketch on a new knife instead ๐
it will have a damasteel blade, grinded by Tommy Jimmefors. and I’m planning to use
stabilized spalted maple and giraffe bones in the handle, and also brass spacers.
we’ll see what willย come out of thisย ๐
…I have sew a sheath for this knife, but I have not dyed it yet ๐ and of course it will have a beltloop ๐
and here is another oneย waiting to get dressed ๐
…the handle a little bit at the back end, as you can se on the last picture ๐
I think it looks better like this ๐
…today and start to form the handle, it went very well ๐
just had to wet it with water, to se how it looked
next thing to do is to start sanding it, but not today ๐
…almost there, just some more fileing and then glueย it in placeย ๐
I’ll try to form the handle with my wittler, just have to make it sharp ๐
