Hi Folks!
Haven`t posted a knife in a while. Here is one of my recent efforts:
Steel is Magnacut. Blade is hollow grind, but hard to see on the pictures, made on an 25 inch weel, handle is a palisander variety and sheath is made from 3m cow hide. Hope you like her!
Cheers LMP
For those of you who are more interested in the making process. I cased the leather before stamping. As I was not completely happy with the colour because it didnīt match the colour of the knife handle I added another coat of a reddish brown to it.
That worked out to some degree. I always leave a wider strip along the stitching line to be able to sand the edge down evenly. After that I apply some die to the edge and start burnishing, followed by some sanding with fine sandpaper and more die and more burnishing and more sanding and so on until Iīm happy with the finish.
Cheers LMP
@littlemorepork I like that border stamp. Will have to try that one.
That tapered welt must have taken a bit of work too. Nice work.
