Latest Blade

[Kimall]

I had to give the bow making a miss today to get over the itching from the fiberglass so almost finished this knife I have been working on for a while.
The blade is L6 from an old saw blade and the handle is a resin cut to size and shaped.Overall length about 10 inches.Still a lot more polishing and the pins in the handle to go but almost there.
Cheers KIM

nice knife mate

cheers forrie

Fileworking on the spine of a knife is usually just that, file work. I'm only guessing here, and Kimall will say for sure, but I would say he has used a jewellers saw or similar in making the pattern as well. Which ever way he did it, it has come up quite well and, as always, file work done well adds a professional finish to a handmade knife.
I hope this has helped answer your question forrie.

Sorry Forrie i missed the question but yes it is made with a couple of differant files and I like doing it as it makes the differance between knives as they are never the same.
Cheers KIM

That is very cool mate, I'll bet your wife appreciates the effort you put into making it for her.

[Kimall]

Thanks Paul but this one is for my older sister as a house warming present.My wife got the first one I made which was pretty rough compared to the ones I am making now.

Yer I like the wood also and am making an ebony one for one of the other skinners I made a while ago.Of course I dont have so much time now someone has me making arrows for some bl**#y show or something.:)

[Glenn]

I should think you should be making some arrows, but if they turn up here with butterflies...well we will wait and see...Glenn...

You are running out of time you know.
