Busy day

KNIFE MAKER
Been another busy day as I had a few sheaths to get done for the knives that are ready to go this week. Cut out 20 but only finished the ones shown as the rest will are for blades that are still on the bench or waiting for handle material to arrive. Still have to dye and burnish the edges and hot wax them but having them to this stage is a good step forward. Have to sharpen and do the final clean up on the blades but at this stage it is all just the little things to make them presentable

You have a lot of efficiency and motivation in your shop. Good looking knives.
Being retired and having a love for "making things" has a lot to do with it. I am no good when I dont have something to make and feel really Blessed to have ongoing orders to keep me busy.
