warm weather

now that its warm actually finishing some




5160 steel stacked leather handle with aluminum guardand threaded pommel

 

440cm blades silver liners-super glue soaked shoelace handle slabs

 

That super glue shoelace looks killer. It has a weave look like carbon fiber almost. I am really liking that stacked leather handle as well. I always liked the look of stacked leather but have become more interested in fancy burls and composites lately. Between this one and Metal99s KITH knife, i am starting to fall back in love with the leather. I will have to get some leather and give one of these a try some time soon. Is the top knife a Moran grind? May just be the light but it looks like it has a nice convex to it.

 

good eye-always been a fan of a convex grind

 

Nice knives man that stacked leather turned out great! What did you treat it with? That shoelace is pretty cool man

 

i spray the leather with good old wd40 a couple of times then just buff with white finishing compound

 

Cool man! I will have to try that next time

 

i have a two wheel setup for polishing-one for brass and aluminum n another just for woods or leather-lasts longer that way n i dont get the non-ferros residue transfered to my handles-steel i polish on both depending on the angle so i dont lose another finger
