little chopper just finished

[mark.177]

6mm o1 tool steel 120mm blade, dymondwood scales with steel pins

 

[Clouston98]

Nice work!

 

[mark.177]

thanks, im debating whether to blacken the blade and pins like the other one?....

 

[Clouston98]

I reckon it's nice shiny .

 

[ashby001]

Both look fantastic!! But I wouldn't black the blue blade as the polished silver goes well!!

 

[mark.177]

i can always polish it off again.... with gun blue.....?

 

[Pete11]

They are stunning , I am another for keeping the shine with the blue scales.

Down to the individual I suppose

[BillyBlade]

Beautiful Mark. I do like it shiny though.

 

[JonE]

I was about to say keep in shiny...then I saw the other pic...I reckon it looks good either way I'd probably lean towards shiny though but....then I would have to spend most of the day wiping fingerprints off of it

 

[Jimmy Bojangles]

Beautiful work mate, I like it blued personally.

 

[weekender]

Very nice either way. I wont it I need it I must have.............sorry I'm going to lie down in a dark room


Sent from somewhere?

 

[mark.177]

thanks, i have another one finished awaiting scales thats exactly the same and will leave it silver

 

[ged]

Damn that's nice! (But I liked it shiny too. )

 

[ged]

Didn't somebody suggest a passaround?

 

[mark.177]

experimenting with satin finishes...

experimenting with satin finishes...

I still like shiny.

 

[ashby001]

One in each I reckon

 

[mark.177]

Didn't somebody suggest a passaround?

i could put some scales on the satin one for a pass around... how does it usually work?
it would be good for the feed back

It should work exactly how you want it to work, it's your property.

In the past people have put their names down on a list, agreed how long each person will keep the knife, given undertakings about care and feeding, and after receiving it and trying it out, posted it to the next on the list.

It might be as well to consider the risks of the knife coming back blunt/bent/rusty/broken/NotAtAll before you give the green light, but if you choose to do it I'd be very happy to put my name on the list.
