Knife making

[Sparky415]

It look's as though you've got the grind lines the same on both sides too

My new toy helps 

I'm sitting here trying to decide if the blade looks too long for its width
Think I will start the handle and see what it looks like 

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

No it's fine as is in my opinion mate

[Neil]

No it's fine as is in my opinion mate

Agreed

[Sparky415]

So far so good

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Looking good mate

Mine's another Netto special

It has been said that I have more money than sense...

but I don't have much money

So how will you be attaching the handles to the blade?

[MultiMat]

Looking good Sparky  .
I went to my first car boot sale today & there was a lot of old chunky files for sale, I could not help but think of your project mate  .

What was your reason for bending the end of the file into a curl , was it tricky to curl
 

[Sparky415]

I have a cunning plan that involves epoxy resin 
(I heated it up with a blow lamp but it was still hard work)

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

That's coming along nicely mate

[Sparky415]

It was starting to look good and 
Got to start the handle again 

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

That's usually the way

You may as well leave the handle till you've got it tempered anyway

[Neil]

   Pants, never mind chap happens to us all.  I did a couple of sets of lace wood handles the other week, the big ones were fine but I managed to totally trash the ones I'd done for a 74mm SAK

Damn

I was really looking forward to seeing those

[Neil]

The 91mm turned out OK though

You haven't told me what knife to put them on yet   All I heard was some muttering about a saw

I wanted the handle almost finished before I got the blade tempered
in case of little accidents 
I have lots of spare wood so not a disaster and I still have the right amount of fingers 

Neil, sorry to hear you are having handle trouble as well, It must be catching 

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Well then add it to a nice Camper of Hiker

i think the effect will be lost on a more layered sak

[Neil]

Sounds as good a logic as any mate, I'll make it so 

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Damn I'm on a role

[Sparky415]

Have you ever wondered what sad desperate person buys the 'set of four wood chisels'
in the Pound shop?  




  have you?

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

I can smell the quality from here

[Sparky415]

^^^ That was my index finger on the belt sander  







The tang was a bit shorter than I'd hoped for
