Finally started on this one

 

[ron54]

Any thoughts on what kind of handle you are going to put on it......

 

[Toney]

I was thinking a cord wrap stabilized with epoxy.

Toney,
Now that is one sharp knife! I've never seen a knife cut threw steel like your picture shows. <grin>

 

[Toney]

Thinking about rounding the end. Tried to grind the bevel by hand on my belt sander. Think I need a jig and a differ sander!!!

 

[ron54]

That would be the way to go, more comfortable in hand.............real nice work by the way !!!!!

 

[Toney]

Thanks!!! Yeah the corner would dig in.

 

[Toney]

got it rounded, got this Buffalo horn but haven't brought myself to start cutting on it. Something white would look good, will probably use hickory again.

 

[ron54]

I like that.........either way on the grips will look great !!

 

[Toney]

I cut it!!!......

 

[ron54]

That's really nice..............

 

[Toney]

fixing to start another.... then ill heartreat and finally finish both.

 

[Toney]

just changed it a little....

 

[ron54]

Looks like a good sized one.......

 

[Toney]

started the bevel...
Yeah it my biggest so far, it is less work grinding away what I don't want.

 

[Toney]

got the holes drilled and done some polishing.

Its about time to put them in the fire!!!

 

[ron54]

Looks good..........do you use like carbon steel.............

 

[Toney]

Yeah, I'm using 1095hc I ordered from Jantz

 

[Toney]

Next......

That's gunna be sweet. Are you really using a grinder to cut those out? How are you polishing them?
