Couple of knives Eh
« on: April 05, 2010, 05:32:21 pm »
Finished these up recently for trade goods for the Classic :) Blades are carbon steel from sawfilers used sawmill bandsaws, oil hardened and then tempered, assortment of woods
First picture  we have cherry burl, cherry burl, maple burl, and I have no idear
second picture we have, mesquite, spalted gum, mescal bean, and maple burl

All have sheaths, not the greatest but sheaths non the less.

I left the blades with a light carbon residue from the hardening process, I like the look better than shiny highly polished steel, they look more traditional this way donchano eh :)

Very nice, wish I was going to the classic.

I'd guess redwood burl for the unknown wood one.

Those are very nice knives. All seem to be a nice practical size for using and look like they would be comfortable in the hand.
