Stew's Works in Progress!

[Stew]

Lost my work spot again so decided to sharpen up my BB spydie urban ready for Christmas present duty. First sharpen in four years of ownership. Had got a little dull though still cutting. A few minutes on the wicked edge and it’s back to scary sharp.

TLIM woodie blade arrived this morning.

For a change, I've actually made a decision on the handle material already.

Scales glued to liners already - classic green canvas micarta with red G10 liners.

What are the chances I get to do some more on it tomorrow?!

Keep those pics coming....really want to see this when completed!

Sent from Somerset using magic

 

[Stew]

Clean up and glue up.

 

[Stew]

Rough shaped.
Undecided on barrel shape or fish shaped handle.
I’ll see which way my mood goes when next working on it!

 

[Stew]

Sketching some friction folders handles.

All fairly similar on the outside but getting the inside to work is a bit different for each one.

These were all supposed to be quick and simple - they’ve been kicking round the workshop for a good few years...

The TLIM bushie looks like it’s going to be a good un.

Always fancied trying some of his 52100. I will be looking forward to seeing the finished knife.

If I recall correctly, this is 52100. Bainite heat treat as well! It’s complete but needs some better pictures.

I got kicked out of the main working spot in my very small workshop today!

 

[Stew]

His first knife finished!

 

[Stew]

TLIM handle complete. Fish shaped handle was the right way to go, I think. Green canvas Micarta with red g10 and carbon fibre tubes.

nice knife but that wonky TLIM logo would set my CDO off big time.

 

[Stew]

They’re meant to be at an angle.

 

[Robbi]

ooooh ... i can't get me noggin around that at all

That looks great - like it would make a really solid user. - Is that 3mm stock?
What are your plans for the sheath?

Yep, 3mm.

Leather for the sheath. Probably a dangler belt loop.

 

[Stew]

Glanced down earlier and noticed I had added a new hole to my body warmer. Down down burns well...

 

[Stew]

Prepping some old jeans to go double denim on this handle!

 

[Stew]

Lots of layers! Added some red to contrast.

That's going to look really good Stew.
