Works in progress

There's just something cool about them without handles.

 

Some handles in the works. Blue box elder Burl and mammoth tooth. Black cherry Burl with carbon fiber.
Swamp wood and carbon fiber.

 

Saw this on Instagram and thought I can't wait to see the box elder and mamoth tooth handle finished!

10" filet in CPM 154CM. Initial shaping if the handle. Black cherry Burl and carbon fiber.

 

Handle shape is coming along nicely. With wet or slippery hands, thus really has a positive grip.

 

Is that CA glue on the handle or just a healthy dose of oil?

 

I just wet it to get the wood dust off it. That's an 80 grit shaping. Not for the hand sanding.

 

Shaping two more handles. Spalted tamarind and wenge bolsters and G10 trim. Blue box elder Burl with G10 trim.

 

Blade Needs a little more cleanup , imprint and edge and then saya. Spalted tamarind and wenge. G10 trim. 190mm CPM 154CM.

 

I do so love this handle

 

Almost Finished a double saya. The chef knife can be withdrawn without having to remove the paring knife.

 

Very nice design!

 

Thanks! It is a really convienent way to transport them. Here is another one.

 

Some Damascus action going on.

 

Starting to shape the handle. Swamp wood and carbon fiber with G10 trim.

 

Some more scales in the works. Flame box elder Burl, blue dyed box elder Burl, Pollyanna Burl.

 

Handles glued up. Waiting for shaping
