My 2 new knives finished (Mick Spain and F1)

[ddokkum]

Last week i finished my Fallkniven F1 with thuya burl scales as seen in a previous post.
Here is another knive I finished, it is a Mick Spain blade with walnut scales..
I didn't used any liners for the knives just to see if I liked it...
The only problem I have now is that I have to make two leather sheaths instead of one..

Very nice mate, excellent , quick question though, how come you used lanyard tube instead of pins for the two holes before the blade?

 

[ddokkum]

I used the lanyard tubing becaue I saw a picture of a knive with it and i liked the look of it.
And now I have some holes to make a spear of my knife .
For my next two F1 knives I am going for normal pins or loveless bolts.

Well it looks great, can't wait to see some more of your work

It's not unusual to have hollow pins, my Barkie Fox River has hollow pins. Nice job with both of them, by the way.

Very nice indeed. Can't think why anyone would go for Micarta or plastics if you could have THAT!

Very nice. I have been planning to get one of Micks blades for a while, he only lives about 20 miles from me. Is his blade ground on both sides, and is it just a single bevel?

 

[ddokkum]

Yes it is ground on both sides and it is a single bevel. You do have to sharpen it, but this works out great because you won't cut yourself while working on the knife.
