amboyna burl, orange padauk, bog oak and olive green canvas micarta.

bolsters are almost finished, you might have noticed i'm only handling four of the five blades for the show, i'll finish the next one after the show. thanks for looking,

OK! blades are back from HT and as we all might agree, hand rubbing is a PITA! cutting the 6mm TI bolsters, the band saw did a good job. thanks for looking. Lee Lerman

Beautiful!

wow, great looking minis! i like the smallest one with the horn (?) handle the best i love miniatures myself, and i really enjoy making them, but i think your's are much better here are mine http://knifedogs.com/showthread.php?25425-miniature-knife Lee Leman.

oh sorry i forgot to explain, it's sterling silver, i could have just made it out of a silver bar, but it's more work andand there is much more waste of matirial, also it was a good opportunity to try working with wax.

Hello sorry for the delay, i received the bolster back yesterday and after some cleaning and milling i'm pleased with the fitting. i'm putting this project on hold for a week to finish a batch of blades to sand to HT, i'll continue working on it after i sand them. Lee Lerman

Hello, i'm sorry it took me some time to update but as expected making five blades at once takes more time, i filed a false edge on all the blades and hand rubbed to 220, i have one last blade to finish and then they will be ready for HT. thanks for looking, Lee Lerman.

Hello, this knife is based on a knife i made about a year ago, the only difference is that i stretched it about 1 1/2" it received some very positive feedback in the few local shows we had here and over a few forums i post in, so i decided to make a few more for the "big" (only) knife...

thanks, Bruse i'm sure they are available in the states, mine is made in italy, but on the other hand a good portable band saw would do the trick. http://www.femi.it/en/index.aspx Lee Lerman
