Four Blades ready for Christmas

[opaul]

These are all done, except for the final edge touch up. I like working with this scale material. Only a couple more Christmas orders and the pressure is off. Hope you guys like them, comments and constructive feedback is always welcome. thanks.

I got these from USA Knifemakers, they come in different styles...………Raffir Noble Composite Brass Curly - Black 1/4" X 1.5" X 6" pair of scales

It almost has a snakeskin effect OP and with the liners seeming to enhance the colours in the scales.

Thanks Ted! I like that one as well. If I had it to do over again I’d make the other three like that one.

I was waiting for these to be done. They are amazing. Yup the lime green is still my favorite.

That's some dang fine work there OP!

Yes, yes they are espically when you normally work with 10 series steels anyway.

How do Hamons hold up against use

Hey OP, I still believe in Santa Claus!!

Real nice work! Is that a distal taper or is the camera playing tricks on my old eyes???

I can’t answer that since these are my first and I have no first hand experience. But I would suspect all but the hamons transition line would be subject to wear.
Maybe someone with experience will respond.
