KNIFE MAKER
Have some from my old patterns ready to go and some from new
The Safari knives seem to hold thier appeal so these two will be away in the morning. One with buffalo horn and the other with eucalyptus handles over brass bolsters
The Light hunter is a pattern I carry myself on the hill so this one with acacia handle will get a similar use when it arrives at its new home.
For the new patterns
I also did a couple of trial knives with one being a fillleting knife and as I hadn't done one so long and so narrow in the blade I have left it as a 400grit belt finish. It has a 6in x 1/8 12C27 stainless with olive canvas micarta handles
A filleting knife is used after a fishing trip so I though I would do a fishing knife as well so this one has a 4 1/4 in x 1/8 in 12C27 blade with natural canvas micarta handles. I will change the ahndle for the next one with the front of it more in line with the plunge line and will reposition the pins to follow the same pattern.
And just to finish out the grinding session I tried a table knife or steak knife with a 5 inch x .075 12C27 which was all ground post heat treat which was another first for me
Red G10 liners under the black paper micarta handle with 3/32 stainless pins
