Evening folks,..
a few of you may know i had a bit of a mess with some files and made a couple or three knives,....
well, after nearly packing up the knife making as it takes aaaaaages to file bevvels onto an annealled file,...i got hold of some O1 flat stock,..
never used it before but wow,!! its so soft and workable,,,,,
compared to the files,...i,m beggining to think i did,nt anneal the files properly,...
anyway,...i like this stuff so much i cut out two blanks (one i cant show as its a suprise)
the other i tried some filework on with it being this easy to work i thought why not,....
heres what i ended up with after a couple of hours tonite,....
ok not perfect but i saw this patern ont interweb and copied it,...
in the background is a scrapof wood i got a off an old bloke who makes walking sticks,.he says its eucolyptus burr, but it just looked plain,
so i gave it a rub and its lovely !, so i reckon this is the handle i'll put on it,....
thanks for looking , i'll keep this updated as i make progress,...
