I love this neck knife, really great lines. Don't etch spine, brings more uniqueness.

Thanks! I’ll leave the spine alone. Kinda like it that way too.

I actually think the opposite on this. I'd etch the spine, personally.

Working with files today. I think these combinations are going to work out.

 

[Delta Handmade Knives]

Finishing up on this one. I don’t think I’m going to re-etch the spine. What do you guys think?

Personally I prefer the polished profile you have there rather than the dark, re-etched profile. I think it looks better but that is just me. Beautiful little guy! Thumbs up!

Thanks Bruce. I'm really liking those Vallorbe files. Also finally attached some golf balls to 'em for handles. That's made a world of difference for comfort.

Yeah, as always, good tools are essential for your top line work. Keep up the practice, you'll be amazed how fast you progress. Also, try just small changes in the angles of the files for some surprising changes in the design.
I've got a new design I'll show you in a bit.

Nice work as always Bruce. That second one looks tricky to do.

Thanks Randy. Hardest part on that second one is keeping the spacing and angles even. The third one was harder because I had to figure out a fix for a mistake I really like the blade and didn't want to throw it in the dreaded "drawer", it's getting to heavy to lift !
