there ya go.

blade hasnt been polished as i think the markings on it are quite good looking,like a damascus type look.

could probably be sanded out if youd prefer.

course you could always get a blank and have Ginger handle it for ya seein as he likes it so much

looks the part dude

but i will wait on 1 that is polished up if ur keeping the markings on that 1, not really a big fan of damascuss markings.

do you think you will keep at it mate?

pablo · « **Reply #62 on:** December 16, 2009 »

nope,i,ll polish it up if you like ,but theres no pressure to buy it Neil.

right , its polished up now.if you want it you can have it , but dont forget its not perfection.

lets put it like this.....if it was me buying it from you id break your arm to get it for 45 quid!!!

Pablo! they are lookin good! how are you cutting out the blank and then getting the bevel
for it look,s really even and as i said before i will have one off you soon!

pablo · « **Reply #67 on:** January 13, 2010 »

just saw your post billy, i use a 4 inch grinder to cut out the blade shape then a 1inch rexxon beltsander to smooth things out.
then i grind the bevels by hand,aint easy but a steady hand and bit of skill does it well enough.

they arnt as perfect as a professional job ,but still bloody good!

ive a couple of blades here at the mo,a convex grind one and a scandi(bushcraft-ray mears clone) no handles on em yet but a mate sent me some nice wood to finish em.
i also have leather on its way 3.5 mm for making sheaths too.

Are you sell home made knifes pablo ?

pablo · « **Reply #71 on:** January 20, 2010 »

Wolf_Larson · « **Reply #72 on:** January 20, 2010 »

Great to know !! Cheers

pablo · « **Reply #73 on:** February 12, 2010 »

been at this caper for a while now and im getting better i think.

i had a few blades laying around so got another couple handled today.

cocobola and masur birch,two woods i hadnt used before.

birch was hard as nails and the cocobola was like carving chocolate!

still,they ended up nice :big grin:

maybe i should start selling a few,theres 7 knives and sheaths sitting here that could be turned into 01,sanding belts and leather.

what you think of em?

They look good, something nice about a home made knife. You seem to have got the hang of it anyway, seems the next logical step is too make them bigger
