moxy 617 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I got a midnight knife blank from a member, and for two years it has rattled its way around the van dashboard. Well I finally got around to doing something with it. A good member on here turned me some 8mm brass pins. 2mm wall thickness for the front and 1mm for the back. So a lanyard can be fit. I used a lump of yew for the handle and with a bit of fettling and a pollish I have ended up with something half right. I could have used some nice burr I have here but as the blank wasn't grade A and being a first attempt, I didn't want to risk ballsing it up. Plus for a working knife and knowing myself I will only end up loosing it. Just a good edge to hone and a leather case to make now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
