Looking good Rob. So far I have a rough idea sketched up but that's about it. Been grinding until my shoes start on fire trying to get some knives done for a fundraiser in a week. So far for materials I am looking at possibly damascus or some CPM154, maybe some copper or wrought, and something out of my personal stash of handle blocks.
Wrought iron is probably going to make it onto my list Ohhh and my wife pointed out that I didn't actually throw out the birch bark
my buddy owns a HVAC company so I steal his scrap galvanized for knife templates , work great now to pick out some steel , apply Dynoflux blue layout , scribe and to the bandsaw.......... I'll round off the 90's................the hole in the tang could be for a pin , but for now it will be to hang on the wall with the 100 other templates.......:crazy:
my phone went for a tumble in the snow on my way down to the barn last night, so I missed a couple pics while drying out the phone............I'll be away a few days at a time over the next couple weeks so I was hoping to get to this point by the weekend..................I changed the angle of the tang slightly.......not sure if it will stay or succumb to a grind !!
hahahaha !! I know I have a few really busy weeks coming up so my time is going to be limited for a while :shocked:...........just trying to get a bit ahead , I'm sure everyone will zoom right on by me soon !! looking forward to the next wip to post though !!
