…I dyed the sheath for the knife with camel-bone 🙂

and this is how it become

I have come to a decision that I will leave that camel bone like it is, so it will not bee any fileing or stippling on it.

…well today I covered it with shaft-leather 🙂

and tomorrow is wednesday, so I got to remember to pic up the grandchildren at the day nursery 🙂 so it will not bee any knife building tomorrow 😦

…to form the handle

starting to form it from the bolster and then working backwards to its finaly shape 🙂

…to spend some time in my workshop, and started to form the handle before it was time for me to pic up two of my grandchildren from the day nursery 🙂

And when my daughter came and and fetch them in the afternon I was to tired for knifemaking 😉

…for staying indoors and devote one’s time for knifemaking 🙂

…is now ready for the blade

since the wood in the handle is cross cut, I will let the tang ended just  1 cm. from the end of the handle 🙂

…for another day or two so that I will be sure that the linseed oil has get dry.

then it’s time for some leatherwork on the camelboone knife 🙂

in the meantime I have started up a new projekt 🙂

…any longer.

here is the knife that I only have been showing you in close-up before:

no, no I didn’t win with this knife 😦

🙂          🙂          🙂          🙂          🙂          🙂          🙂          🙂          🙂          🙂      

but with this knife I achieved 3:rd in class U.B. 🙂

so I’m very satisfied with the weekend in Söderhamn 🙂

…for this week, so I will make it big 🙂

I have not decide if I will leave the camel boon like it is, or…?

…is finished and now it’s  

time for the rest of the handle

                                                                                    in rough outlines the form of the handle

                                             before the finaly sanding

of the handle, I’ll will file

down the brass specers.

pay attention to my

new file 😉
