It's been a while since I've posted any new work so I thought I'd share a couple...
A small whittler

Worked on this one a while. Blade is from an old crosscut saw, hickory handle with a single brass pin and finished with mineral oil.

Now I need to make some sheaths, but I've said that before...

On the right hand side of your photo in photobucket are four options. Click on the bottom option (IMG). It will turn yellow and say Copied. That will copy the photo with the correct code to your cache. Come back to the forum. Go to where you want the photo to appear, right click and select paste. Easy Peasy. I plugged them in for you.
Always good stuff. Thanks for letting us have a look.
Well done.
looks good, the other day I was walking in the woods and came across a old crosscut saw sticking out of the ground. Brought it home for projects.
so the definition of a criminal is someone who breaks the law and you want me to believe that somehow more laws make less criminals?
Great job on your knives!
I would be very interested in knowing how you make homemade sheaths for your neck knives...what is the trick for enabling the knife to stay securely out of harms way until you need it? (If it is too hard to yank out of the sheath, and the situation requires speed...fumbling around isn't good. And if it is too loose in the sheath...well, my girls might get hurt. Ouch.)

I'll try it out, thanks Rick!Originally Posted by Rick
Thank you!
Thank you. They make very good knives, but can be tough to work with. I hope you share your projects with us.
Thank you.
As far as the sheaths, I rarely do them myself because I'm horrible at it.
The few that I have made are wet formed. I wrap the knife in plastic wrap, soak the leather in water, insert the knife and use clamps to allow the leather to conform itself to the knife. Allow to dry and they usually stay in place pretty well. Sometimes I've had to go back and "tweak" it to get it like I want it.

It doesn't matter what you do you almost always start out horrible at it. It just takes practice. If leather work is something you enjoy then just do it. Each item allows you to learn something. It just takes practice and some mistakes along the way.
Thank you! I have a couple of potentially good neck knives...if I only had sheaths for them. Now I have just added another "to do" onto the list of things to do this winter!
