…during the last days π
start shaping the handle, begin with the bolster.
…that I’ve glued the handleparts together.
It will have a bolster in dyed elkhorn, mamoth, tinspacers and stebilized elmburl in the shaft π
this “a little different shaped” blade in damasteel, is grinded by Ingemar Nordell.
…that I’ll find time to finish this one before Christmas, but I’ll give it a try π
I started with the bolster in dyed elkhorn π
…if this picΒ΄s are better? but anyhow here’s some more picΒ΄s of the “record knife” π
this knife got a 81 mm. long blade in Damasteel, grinded by Anders Hedlund π
a mamoth bolster, tin spacers and dyed stabolized alder Rooth, total lenght of the knife is 190 mm.
it also got a dyed raw hide leather sheath with a wooden liner π
…by making a beltloop and also dyed the sheath atΒ the same day π
but there’s still a button for the beltloop to be madeΒ π
…comming so far with a knife in only two weeks! it’ not like me π
but of course, I’m going to dyeΒ the sheath andΒ make a beltloop for it, so it’s not a “record” yet π
…is made out of birch, I realy like to use my wittler to form it π
on the next pic I’ve start to make it easyer for the blade to get into the sheath π
finaly I dye the top of the liner and seal it with super thin glue π
…made some fileing on the spacers
I’m also ready to glue the two halfs of the woodenliner together π
