Here is the last pictures of the work-in-progress before it is completely done. I cannot show every steps as it would take forever but I think you can get a good feel for the process involved when I make a knife.
I need to slot the liner:
Next I need to grind and finish the blade:
After a lot more work, the blade will be completely done and fitted up to the knife and I'll also have the liners detailed.
I still need to make the clip. I left this for last because I was unsure of the material and the shape of the clip but I have a good idea on what I want to do. There is a specific look I am trying to achieve with this knife and it will be explained in the final pics.
Next the photos of the finished knife!

How did you get that two tone effect on the blade? That's unique and striking look. I dig it!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteI etched the Damascus and then satin finished the flats of the blade to remove the etching.
