Yes, what a bundle of good stuff --- folders you know.Looks like we both like working on several or more at the same time and that you like the variety of styling as well as I do. Please post one or more when finished. I could see some with stag, some with ivory. some with pearl . Frank

I actually have this in another thread but just saw this post so I thought I would add it here. Wonder if we could keep this ongoing just to see what everyone is working on?

6 Hunters in CPM154, 2 Combat X in 3V and a 1095 Seax.
I've been facinated by the Seax since going to Kevin Cashens smelt. I'm still working on the sheath. A leather lined, Bear fur throated Maple sheath with ancient Germanic runes carved into the front.
Here are a few pics of the Seax. Forged from 1095 with a Sambar Stag, blued wrought iron, and silicon bronze handle. A small silicon bronze ring will be added to the butt.
FWIW, the blade is very bright. I'm not sure why the pics show a bluish tint unsure
Hope you like

Thank you guys 2thumbs
The history of that Blade style is facinating !!
I wanted to add something else I've been working on too. Not a knife, but knife related
My wife Joanna has had the yearning to learn engraving for quite some time now.
Again, because we went to Kevin Cashens Smelt, we were very fortunate to acquire a GRS GraverMax, along with several hand-pieces :bud: 2thumbs.
Made some very cool new friends too. That was, without a doubt, the best part !
Anyway, I just finished an engraving turntable.
Next project will be an X & Y axis mini cross slide, to position the area of the workpiece being engraved at the center of the turntable.
Then a small vise on top of that. This should serve Jo well while she's learning and until we're able to pick-up a real engraving vise
Here are some pics of the turntable. I made it from 1/4" 1018 and used 3/16" nylon bearing balls. It looks just like a Magnum IKBS
A 1/4" Bybee Pivot Pin holds it all together. Oh, it's 8" in diameter.
I also did a quick nitre-blue to it.
I still need to make the tab that will allow a nylon tipped screw (or something), unsure to contact the side of the top plate. Theory being, to create a little drag so it's a bit more controllable.
To prevent chips from getting underneath via the bolt hole pattern the un-needed holes (all 10-32) will be plugged using set screws.
(10) 1/4-20 button head screws around the top perimeter for grippage and, on the bottom, (5) 1/4-20 flat head "leveling" feet
cool 1

Since my sabbatical from knifemaking, I have been building guns and gunsmithing. I just rebuilt this AK47 from a Romanian AK. Without going too much into it, there is a federal law called 922r that states imported AKs need to have a certain amount of USA-made components.
My next project is a old ruger blackhawk that will get some TLC and new chambering.

That is an awesome blade.

Very nice, Ive got a Romanian kit laying here in a box, I think you just inspired me to finally put it together.

This is in another thread as well.
The blade is gibeon meteorite shaped by Delbert Ealy.
Right now it is with Fred Rowe for the hardware. This is the design we settled on.
It will be going to Ken Hurst for the engraving.
I will be doing the handle wood. Thinking about using some of this. ...But not sure yet.
