Latest knife. It was partly done for a while now. Finally finished it. Incredibly comfortable. I will do more with this type handle. Only needs a little rounding in the guard area. I only have to figure out a sheath 6.5" OAL 2.5" blade 1095 (0.25") Bloodwood scales and brass pins Hamon...

Mike, it's a partial tang. The nut is only there for decoration. It would have been a little tricky to thread it through there as you say and beyond my skill level sadly. Someday. No sheath on this one cotdt. I'll see about getting a better angle pic to show the curvature. Thanks again for...

Thanks Nathan, I do love recurves.

Thanks Diver, I did learn a bunch making it. Now unto the next one. :D

Thanks for the good words Keith.

Finally finished what was supposed to be a Persian fighter. Stacy was the one I think that pointed out that it would need a up swept blade. Next one will have one. 11" OAL, 6.5" blade, 5160, wood I can't remember just now. Any comments or critique are more than welcome. Thanks for looking.

The air is sucked through the filter. That's how Tracy said he set up his.

It is Tracy's idea. Posted already but I figured why not post it again. 20$ Box fan from WallyMart and 10$ furnace filter from Home Depot. Easy to do and cheap. Also cause you can't have too many air cleaning devices in your shop. Thanks again Tracy.

Here is a pic of the paint I used. I love it.

Get a gallon of de-greaser George and make her shine again! :D

Thanks for sharing that Ed. I already have a vise but it will help me tweak it a little.

Just wanted to add that I tried one of my wife's acrylic paint bottle. Used just one drop and it was perfect, blends completely in the epoxy and dried as hard as usual. Not sure if this changes the composition enough to affect the holding power but sure looks good.

Yes stabber, even if the "take down" part is during fitting and finishing. This particular knife will be all glued together. But with a guard and 2 spacers the pins are a godsend to align everything perfectly. Well ok maybe not perfectly but that has nothing to do with the pins and everything to...

It's the first time I try them but WOW! What a difference it makes especially when you have to take down everything a few zillion times. It's a little tricky at first but I am sure I'll learn a few tricks with time and it is well worth the effort. Here is a pic cause everyone likes pics right?

Not my idea of course just something I saw in Jantz Catalog last night. Pretty easy to make. It is not completely finished, some minor tweaking to do but I like it. Anyone sees ways to improve it fell free. I left the chains a little long until I figure out what length is best.

Thanks Bob, I will have to try that one.

Email sent. Thanks a bunch.

Anyone?:confused::unsure:

Well Fletch it does help a little with the shakes. ;)

No but now that you mention it I could go for a nice Damascus faux finish. ;)
