Sjt657 191 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Looks good mate what handle are you putting on it ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
midnight 657 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 ocd i like that , i like it mate take your time on this one it could be a show stopper , gret shape you should draw round it keep it as a stencil , i might be able to get you some laser cut one day . even if not you can refine it over the years and it will be your own knife to your design . the file work looks great to well done .

midnight 657 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Matt is that one of your blanks ??? Looks good .... no mate its aby-b's design that one ! got a good look to it i reckon . as for handle material .................... got a modern look with a clasic line , brass bolsters and pummel with a ivory alternative micarta in the midle , would look realy classy maybe a 1mm brass liner to bring out the file work and contrast the filler ?

Gin 498 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Yes its a good type blade, and as Midnight says, Ivory linnen micarta would set it off great. A bit like this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ady-b 94 Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Yes its a good type blade, and as Midnight says, Ivory linnen micarta would set it off great. A bit like this Like the look of that Gin. What is the micarta like to work with ie. cutting and sanding/finishing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gin 498 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Very much like using a hard wood. Cuts and shapes easily Quote Link to post Share on other sites
