Just Finished It

[Englishrose222]

Hi Guys

I've been working on this one for a while and have just finished it. Nice handy little bushy but with my own unmistakable look to it - i'm told. Thuya burr on an 01 blade, full convex grind, 220mm long overall and matching firesteel.
What do you think?

Tracy..

That is one nice little knife! I like the look of it, It just goes to show there is more than way to skin a cat Bushcraft knives don't have to look all the same as "you know who's" knife.
Did you put the little half circle in the blade to make it neater/easier to finish the cutting edge? I was thinking to do the same on my next knife.Well done. :You_Rock_

 

[Tor helge]

Very nice, almost to fine to use.
How thick is the blade?

[Draven]

wow, I love that!!
Very interesting blade shape, I've never seen it used for Bushcraft before but I like it

And yes, it does look rather "you" - probably because of yet another example of a stunning handle material coupled with an awesome lookin blade!

 

[ol smokey]

Really like it. Especially the matching bead on the thong and the handle on the firesteel. Well Done.

Nice knife and an interesting blade shape. I like it when people experiment with different styles.

 

[grangerknives]

Great looking knife, the blade shape seems so different from the norm.

What a beauty and I love the firesteelhandle also, how did you do that? Nice sheath also

 

[Heathenpeddler]

Great looking knife! Love the shape of the blade, I prefer that style to just about any bushy knife I've seen. If I ever get the steel to do one myself that will be my inspiration

 

[mick spain]

Very Nice Tracy still keeping up the standards I see

 

[Colin KC]

's lovely Tracy (jus' like you :notworthy )

One little thing that you might wanna think about inna future, you might wanna line those pins up ('course, I allays forget too, pot/kettle )


Good one girl!


Carry on

Beautiful knife. I have just bought some yew scales and 01 off Ebay from English Rose and *hopefully* I will be able to make something half as good as her knives.

Hi Guys

Jo-Jo - the half circle is called a choil, i like it because it is decorative and it also helps when sharpening the blade, giving a place to stop at.

Tor helge - the thickness of the blade is 3mm x 30mm.

Draven - thank you for your lovely words, very kind and thoughtful.

Silverback - thank you Mr & Mrs Silverback, i'm glad you like it.

Grangerknives - yes - the firesteel top was turned.

Mick Spain - Mick, always a pleasure to see you on any of my threads, i've always admired your work.

Nathan - thank you for your patriotism - is it your first, you didn't say. If i can be of any help to you at all, you know where to find me...........and hey.........whether it is your first or not, i would love to see some pictures please.

And thank you for all the other kind comments you have made.


Colin KC - i think it might have been a trick of the light, so i have put another picture on from the other side and the pin is one piece that goes straight the way through from one side to the other, but i am always pleased to be guided by you.

 

[bushtank]

What a great looking blade hope mine turns out half as good as yours

 

[Dave Budd]

nice work there Tracey

I can see what Col means, the rear pins looks like it slope inward on the first photo. I think it's the angle teh pic was taken form

Oh, the half circle is called a choil (or Spanish notch if very ornate). The plunge cut is the transition between the flat (ricasso) and the blade bevel

Are you coming to Jack's btw?

 

[OzaawaaMigiziNini]

Alright, that's it, you and your beautiful work are the straw that broke the camel's back. Starting tommorrow, I start making my knives.

Oh and by the way :You_Rock_
