Roxanne!!

[ex-member Raikey]

Ok,..

this is my 2nd go at a knife from a file,...

and i dont get to keep her!!??

after the errm, success?...of the first one, i was asked if i fancied a commission,..!!!! hahahahaha

anyway,...with the pressure from my mate Pablo,..(Paul Sanderson on here)

i took the challenge,...

bad weather, man flu, snow brews and other interuptions have somewhat hindered the project

but i finally got to a point where i,m 98% happy that after a bit of playing with the emery board i can heat treat at the weekend,...

we picked out some spalted beech, black liners and 8mm mosaic pins ,

she's about 6mm thick too so no Kate moss by a long stretch of the imagination,...

anyway i give you,....Roxanne! hahahahaha

 

[ex-member Raikey]

all hand filed ,...no belts or owt,...

oh i forgot the last ingredient,....i put a bit of Raikeylove into it too,...

hey Stu, that looks great mate !......did you mention commissions ? LOL !

nice one Sir !!

 

[ex-member Raikey]

hahaha ,....Robbi!!! thanks dude!!

Pablo did say the thread may not be a good idea,....

the last of a breed this too as i think i,m moving onto 01 flat stock now,....

the files hold a special place tho,....i got a bin full,...so maybe best to never say never,....

[g4ghb]

looks good mate but if you are calling it Roxanne surely it should have red liners!

Brilliant! I like that.

 

[ex-member Raikey]

Brilliant! I like that.

i have red too,...but Pabs spec'd black to contrast the light beech....

shall we try and pursuade him red is better??....

or shall i fit red L.E.D'S inside the pins so he can literally put on the red light!!!

or alternatively choose not to put on the red liiiiiight!!

because lets face it,...its his knife and so,.........

"He dont have to put on the red light"!!!!

hahahaha sorry

 

[PaulSanderson]

Stu...I think red is a great idea! With a name like roxanne, she needs to have some kinda red on her

You have cut the black Stu so im obviously more than happy with black. Red would suit the vamp now she has a name...ha ha I am gonna tell the missus there is another lady in my life, of whom I have seen pics over the net but not physically met yet...
