Weekend sanding

[Dougster]

I bought some knife blades, one from here and a few from Brisa and stuck on some handles over the last week or two. This weekend I sanded them, oiled them, sanded them more, oiled them more.....

Quite pleased with this. Local elm, cross cut oak and rippled oak.

I have to make leather sheaths for them all now.

Thank you. I have one small piece of that left and I am torn between a beer bottle opener or honing steel for the kitchen.

That's some very handsome work there. I'd be very proud of any one of them.
The issue is which one to take with you. But what a nice issue to have.

Lovely job. The cross cut oak is especially nice.

Impressive sanding skills! And gorgeous knife handles.

 

[Dougster]

Thanks all. I wish I could justify keeping any of them.

The cross cut oak one is on the new blade from Brisa. Much finer than I was expecting it will make a fantastic kitchen, butcher or camp cook knife. The Brisa Trapper in D2 at the top is one of my favourite production blades ever and the full tang puuko is a joy in the hand.

Love the shape and profile of the bottom one. But nice work all round.

That’s a much better pic of the finished knives. Isn’t that new Brisa a very fine looking knife? I think I’d be loathe to part with that one, I’d sneak it into the kitchen drawer and kind of forget I was ever planning to sell it.

Many thanks. I recently bought a Spyderco bushcrafter from Tony so any new shinies must go. We will see what happens.
