"Jaguar" shop knife

[Michael Kemp]

Customer's blade shape design. I put together the etching based on conversations with him. Handle & fittings in real simple brass and cherry wood. Just wanted to share!

Interesting shape for the blade, but I like it. I seem to always come up with something similar (yet less drastic) when I start sketching new stuff. And great job on the jaguar design!

Interesing design!

Yah, the customer played with thin plywood cutout blade/handle shapes and came up with this. Gave me an excuse to practice "upsetting" to get enough material for the big belly. I'm curious to see how it handles in real use.
