my second knife

[luckylee]

this is my second knife that i have made, i made this out of 5 mill 01, i made this from start to finish from a piece of flat stock.
i added the stipling on this like my first one, as people no me for that because of my leather work, it also makes it more tactile, and grippy like jimping, as well as looking ok.
i no this is not like what the knife makers on here make, but im trying me best, learnt a lot from this one, like dont add the stippling first as when you come to profile the scales out, after the epoxy has set, you will have to do it all again.
hope you like this, any comments are appreciated.

I've got to say that ipad case is rude word amazing I'm liking a lot

Fantastic job Lee, and only your second knife.

Good Lordy this man is the finished article
Sheath and knife maker in one package
You are a talented individual and I may well hate you for it in a respectful way of course
Great work

You're a bloody quick learner, Lee!.................I think leather without a doubt, and not just because I hate Kydex!.......atb mac

 

[Marmite]

Beautiful work, I like it.
The only problem I see is that I've thought about trying to make one myself and after looking at yours probably best to just give it up
As for a sheath it would look beautiful in a leather sheath with dropper, same colouring as your Ipad cover and a few of those acorns on the bottom.
Excellent work.

Great.
Well done buddy.

My thoughts exactly

Great knife and love the oak leatherwork. The colour of that complements the green micarta well, so that gets my vote.

thanks for the king words guys they mean the world to me, always have, this place has given me so much confidence to try new things. just hope they get better, my ocd drives me potty, have to have everything calliper correct, which when you are learning, is no help at all, but im trying me best, to do the best i can, thanks again.

Wow........

Lee I think you should send me that monstrosity of a knife and I will make sure nobody has to see it again.
Thats damn sweet mate and for a second attempt you should be seriously proud of yourself.
Anyway you have my address and will await its arrival.

 

[Biker]

Lee, you make me sick.

The first one blew me away, and I don't know how you managed it but you've just raised the bar several notches higher with this one. Just superb.

As for what Johnnyboy1971 said above - if you REALLY don't want this monstrosity seen I would advise sending it to another country... France is pretty spacious, Normandy especially.

Wow, that's really nice!

Now your just being silly. You can't subject customs to seeing this. Better to keep it where its safe.

Customs won't have to know. I'd come over and collect it personally. Heck, I'd crawl the last mile over broken glass too if he asked.

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

Either way I'm looking forward to seeing it in the flesh. Looks cracking mate.

 

[Macaroon]

Don't believe these mountebanks and blackguards, Lee; the only safe way to take care of the job is to send it to ME!!!

 

[gentlemanc]

Truely a thing of beauty Lee, I fear if you had a showroom I would be selling my house!
