What's going on in your shop?

That blade looks like it is flint!

It's actually electricians tape.....much harder to knap.....takes extreme skill.

Here are the fittings that go with the carved blackwood handle.

I'll bet it does. But you don't have to worry about the flakes cuttin your hand.

2.25" AEBL blades started as a hardened rectangle at 0830am and this is where they are at 230pm when I finished stropping them! Orange SureTouch handles, orange g10 spacer. Customer wanted blades this short. Not bad after working 3rd shift last night at my normal jpb!

Got to work on this spey blade slippie today while waiting on my next order to heat treat. This was the only day I managed to get out in the shop this week...hopefully I'll get a little more time this next week!

Thank you for asking. I haven't made enough yet to be confident about selling billets, I probably will in the future.

 

[Bruce McLeish]

Thanks, Jesse. Put me on the list for tester, then . And for buyer !

@J. Doyle Is that the GRS fixture holding your handle or another source? If not GRS, would you mind sharing a pic of the backside? Thanks.
Carving on this handle has a tasteful elegance that makes for special knives. Nicely done, sir.

Very nice! What is the middle handle material, some sort of stone laminate?
