My first Knife...

[Taffy63]

I think I'll call it "The Snake!"
It was made for my brothers 50th Birthday present.

3mm O1 tool steel, Padauk scales, copper liners and pins, filework with green epoxy infill. A little rough in places, but it has been a real learning experience, comments and criticisms welcome.

Cheers all

[ex-member Raikey]

Cheers

Thanks guys.
I chose green because I thought the contrast with the orange of the wood would look nice. Next time though I will glue the liners, pins and scales on with clear epoxy first and then do the infill later, I ended up with green glue everywhere!

 

[John Fenna]

That is a cracker!

Look like you have done your brother a cracker of a knife.
Well done fella.

 

[Taffy63]

Well I think my brother liked it, it's easy to forget that just because you like knives it doesn't mean everyone does...go figure . He did appreciate the fact that I had made him something.
Thanks again for all your lovely comments.
Cheers
