Kindly post your entries and a photo or two here.

Thanks,

Here's mine.
It's a small paring knife made of 1/16 A2. Blade length is 10 cm and overall length is 20 cm. The handle is black linen micarta with a blue acrylic pommel just as an attempt to set it off a bit.

I had made another with a burl handle shown in the original thread but after making both, I think the handle on this one is more comfortable and better proportioned. So I am changing my mind and giving the better one.



A suggestion had been made to put the handle on a buffing wheel but I don't have one and am not in position to buy one right now so I will NOT be offended at all should the recipient choose to put a shine on it with a wheel. This is sanded to 1500 and paste waxed.

 

Looking good. Congrats! All you need now is a person to send it to.

 

I won't be sending until the 26th. Headed out of the country on vacation. Should anyone want to break into my shop while I am gone, please clean up a bit while your there.

 

This is mine . Cts xhp steel @ 62.5 rc. I only get home on the 5 July from the tug so I can only send it out then .

 

Got mine finished this year.



1/16 15N20 blade is 3 1/4 or so inches long, just over 7" oal. Handle is black denim dyed maple from woodstabilizer.com. Pins are 1/16 stainless.

Nice looking bunch of knives guys. I'd be happy to receive any one of them.

Thanks Dan. Seemed appropriate as the handle material came from my secret Santa on here.
