Thanks Ken. That was done with a hammer and little chisel/screwdrivers. It's not fancy carving by any means but I like it too.

Ahh, thanks!

Ken, the forum used to give me the option of thumbnail or full picture, but not anymore, now I have to click on them to see it.

First of the summer, lockback with ironwood. Don't know why the pics aren't showing

Only have time for a few per year at this point

Very nice!

Try the oil pot, it can be a bit annoying to put together. Try to reduce friction in the moving parts, your forces are more accurate then. Sorry, that's all I got.

Thanks Sean, originally I was planning to patina them, but I liked how they looked shiny and figured whoever ends up with it could decide.

Ok, thanks for the input! We'll see if I get to it this summer

I've seen people do it and yeah, would approach it like segmented scales, but just from a knife philosophy standpoint I was wondering whether people would think it cheeky to do. The linked knife by Taylor looks good, and what I was thinking for a fulltang...

What are your thoughts on making a full tang knife with bolsters which are keyholed? I like forged integrals with keyholes and was thinking about imitating it, but I only do stock removal.

Thanks!
