Just Finished My 2nd Stick Tang

[HillBill]

Hi guys.

Just got this one finished today. Its only the second stick tang knife i have ever made, the first being that big bowie i did over a year ago.
Its 4mm 01, with the handle comprising of Briar burl/mallee burl/briar burl, with african blackwood spacers and brass bolster/pin.

I think it turned out well considering stick tangs aint my forte.

Hope you all like it.









Balance point.... the knife looks really small in this pic, but its not.

That's a very cool knife, exquisite handle and the sheath is exactly the right thing for it; Superb and tasteful design and workmanship!

That looks outdoors to me Sonni unless Mark has foliage, wet stone walls, bits of slate & moss indoors ? You need some sleep !

That looks great - Id love to know the blade length as it looks sort of 7" in the first picc - and much smaller by the end

Weather wasn't too bad here, lots of sunshine, my camera is nearly 5 years old, i think the sensor is going as it's not taking clear pictures like it used to. Gonna have to swipe my Mums Canon all bells n whistles thing.

Cheers mate
