Hello folks,
a week or two ago I started making a new knife, but unfortunately I got ill :cold::eek2::flare: recently so I can't get to my workroom now. I'm kinda bored and also can't wait to...
Happy Birthday! :balloon:
Hello and welcome.
Very nice knife. I hope it will serve you well :thumbs_up:
I cold worked it :D. It wasn't easy.
Thanks for mentioning this method.
The weekend is here so I'll see what can I do.
Really cool looking knife.
Thanks everyone.
Well, I should rather not drop it :D But you are probably right, I'll use pins next time.
This is my second knife I've made, the blade is made from old planer blade (D2 steel), the scales are walnut with beeswax + olive oil finish (hmmm, it smells so sweet).
I didn't use any pins...

Nope. This one is clearly a mutant blue pike :D.
Wow I have never seen pine cone handle before. Beautiful.
Hello and welcome.
That giraffe would be proud of you :D.
If only I could make such awesome blades.
I must be patient...
I've seen some of Crash's knives, yes they are absolutely beatiful. (I would really want that banana knife, even though it would be useless here in Europe...).
Hhh, now I understand.
(I'll better buy them, you know, just for sure :D).
Thanks Canid. Now I'm thinking about second knife, but I'm still not sure what design I'll use.
What did you mean by "chimes"?
Yeaaah I know :death::banana:. And it's almost impossible to disarm as it's double edged + it has a ring to help you keep it in hand. And you also can do a lot of nice tricks with it.
