copper weekend
I had an custom order for a caping knife with a copper bolster so I decided to just use copper for both projects I had going this weekend. The surprise to me, anyway was how the black ash burl turned out, I wanted mesquite burl for this knife but couldn't get my hands on any, good thing to because these turned out sweet.
1st up is the caping knife 7" total with a 2 3/4" blade @ 1/8" stock thickness 0-1 tool steel. Light acid etch on blade with perimeter mirror polished.
handle is copper bolster, copper pins (#6 ground wire) and stabilized California Buckeye Burl.
didn't notice until after pics I left some polishing compound on the pin just ignore it...lol.
