That is a gorgeous knife!

That's a very elegant sheath. It's amazing how the absence of stitching changes the look.

They're good for getting things flat. :D I have mine running now (9"er) but want to get a work rest made so I can make angled joints on handle slabs.

Pretty clever! :D

Hi Dwane, Wrought Iron is gorgeous stuff for knifemakers. It's full of slag inclusions which makes it a low quality metal for it's original use, hence why the switch over to steel with the birth of the Bessamer process. A soak in ferric chloride etches the softer material out in just the same...

No worries. I know it's a lot of work doing a WIP but didn't want to be the only one to miss it if there was one! :D

Thanks chaps. :) I know photographs are something to work on as well as the knives themselves. Better camera work and lighting is another of my aims this year so it's handy they all work together. (I can't afford to send them off for pics!)

I know, I know - it sounds quite a arrogant question! I couldn't think of a simpler way to phrase it - sorry! So last year, someone bought me a book. I can't remember the exact title, but somethign like 'Best of Blade mag'. I assumed i wouldn't find it too interesting from years back when...

How about a video showing us this bad boy in action? A bit of flipping action! ;)

That was one of the reasons I changed my mark. It's something worth thinking about quite seriously.

"Fantastic" hardly describes it!

Personally I don't think you need to worry about treating it. It's solid and oily enough not to need anything.

That looks great Steven. Do you have a bigger picture (or a link if you don't want to lag the forum)? Must be great to work with Bruce. :)

Bloomin' heck Bruce! That just takes my breath away. Opening one of your threads is always a pleasure but to scroll down and see that is something else! I must admit, I looked before reading and I wondered why the detail on the butt end was like that. You should be proud of yourself. :D Did...

Mike Blue damascus blade (oh so sweet!), some Wrought Iron, Bronze, Nickle Silver and Bog Oak. This has been a long time coming. It has multiple attempts at a bolster, lots of indecision about the spacer and a little indecision on the main section of the handle. I hope it was worth the...

That looks slick - you should send it off to Coop for some pro photos!

Stunning. Truly stunning. Be proud of that work Bruce!

Wow, love the idea of the DMT plate! How long does it last? How much work do you do with it?

Looking forward to seeing this progress. I will make my first locker this year.

What are the properties of Mobile 1 that make it work better? Any ideas?
