Heikki’s KITH WIP for Nick Schreiber

[Nick Schreiber]

Wow! That looks amazing and I am very grateful to be the recipient of this beautiful piece! Thank you!

My KITH knife is basically finished, other than the sheath, which I should be starting on this weekend. There's a couple things I would have done differently, like make the file work cuts deeper so they didn't wash out so much on final sanding, and maybe not dyed the epoxy black so some of the depth of the file work would show up better. Overall I think it works though.

The blade is 1084, 59-60 HRC. The handle is African Blackwood with nickel silver pins.

Excellent work!

Great looking knife! The file work is exceptional.

 

[John Wilson]

That knife looks awesome!! Great job!

 

[Heikki]

Thanks guys!

 

[Mark Barone]

Thanks. I just ordered a set. How do you keep the lettering straight?

I would hot glue a small straight piece of wood below where you want the word. Then rest the stamp up against it.

Wow, nice idea! Thanks for sharing. (now if only I can remember this in the future when needed....)

Classy work

Finished the sheath this weekend. Just needs its final edge and it's ready to go.

That knife and sheath look amazing! I can not wait to have it in my hands! Thank you Heikki!

Dood. That looks so sweet.

Yesterday I got my KITH from Heikki. Wow! It is a gorgeous knife and I am very proud to own it! Thank you Heikki for the amazing knife. The craftsmanship is excellent! Maybe one day I’ll try my hand at some firework like you did on the spine. It adds a very nice touch! The sheath is also very nice and compliments the knife nicely!
