WIP Bog Oak skinner

[David Roeder]

For a client in Ireland, this is a forged 5160 Skinner with a stabilized Bog Oak handle from the same area the client resides.

This coming week using Skype the client will have the chance to watch the handle shaped. He was already able to see his blade forged, ground, heat treated and finish ground via Skype. Technology is great sometimes

Very nice! I like the shape of the blade a great deal.

Too bad. I would have loved to see the blade come to life too
Lookin good so far.

David, LOL I guess it's a Sunday evening!
I had to reread your post after I looked at the handle and thought, Hmmm? Looks like a Kershaw Fob/pocket folder, but his doesn't look like it folds?
I am looking forward to seeing your handle all sculpted.

That sounds like a new step forward in keeping the buyer involved. I think it's great !!! Frank

I use Skype regularly. Great tool!

Amazing looking knife.

Interesting David,
I looked at the picture and wondered if maybe the handle was just a little "blocky" but now I see you are going to shape it.

That's funny Bruce ! This is as far as I took it before ending our Skype session. So next time on he will be able to see the handle shaped and the k I've come to life pretty neat stuff these days !!
