Title: Finished Knife # 3
Post by: Steve Nuckels on January 21, 2009, 10:10:00 PM
This my latest effort it's 7" OAL 3 1/2" blade previous life was a file.  Stained curly maple.  First try at wire inlay.  I made the sheath and bead work.

Thanks to Jeremy for the wire and the chisels!


I hope the pic posts        :pray:

Beautiful knife.  That's way better than my third.  And I haven't been able to finish out a file knife yet.  They seem to keep warping!  

Great work.  Aaron

No really.  Come out here and tell us.  That's not really your third knife.  That's gotta be number 123 or something right?   It looks awesome!  You've definetely found your niche.  Keep it up and you know we want to see pictures along the way.

I would say that Gentleman Bill Moran would Proudly clap you on the shoulder for that one. Seeing that handle ner brought a tear to this old Indians eye, at the memory of a dear passed friend.

Very nice work!

3rd???  My third knife finally improved enough to look like a prison shive.  We won't talk about the first two.  Great looking knife, the inlay on the handle looks fantastic.
