Post by windknot »

Here’s a few pic’s of one I finished last week, it’s a style of knife I’ve always had a liking for and along the lines of the knife that I bought almost 30 years ago, which cost me a fair portion of a week’s wage as an apprentice Panel Beater.
ATS34 blade steel
416 Bolsters
Maroon G10 handle material
Tapered tang

There’s a few spits of rain in the pic’s as we grabbed them over the weekend between showers.

Very nice work. Out of curiosity, where do you get your stencils made for your logo? (I am about to buy an etching machine)

Kickinback, TUS Industries in the states do one of the better stencils that we've come across. Longer lasting provided you clean them and look after them, nice and clear and they are good to deal with.

Thankyou very much. I've been wanting to put my mark in a few things I make and letter stamps just don't cut it.
