Hey Gang,
Just want to show some knives I made recently.
This is one I made for my Friend, who is the current RSM of the 48th. I designed a knife that melded the old style Sgian Dubh concept, with a modernized drop handle feature. Blade is Damascus, the Handle Scottish Bog Oak, with a Brass. Turned out to be very well balanced.
The second one, is a door price I donated to the Scotch Nosing we had at the regiment, on the 28th. The blade is also Damascus (Dopey me I took no picks) the Handle and sheath Spalted Maple. I have a Brass front Bolster, and the sheath has a gold inlay that has the Falcon and 48 of the cap badge.
Little by little, my goal of making knives is coming to fruition. My little shop is slowly stocking up, with more tools, wood, blades, metal etc etc.
I am going to be working on some more Sgian Dubhs, with some different ideas. I am also going to work on a some Kurkuri's, the blades made from a reputable source.
More to follow....
