Finally got the knife to harden. Well, all but a small section very near the handle. I am really not sure on how bad that really is. The outer tip is for chopping and will take the most abuse, and hardened very well. The inner, its to be used as a draw knife section and scraper. Being that it will be the most lightly used portion, hopefully its edge will last. I really hope the differentially hardened knife wont fail because of this. Also, there is a slight bend in the blade from the forge. Without sticking it back in there, I am not sure how to correct this. Its not bad, you have to sight down the spine to see it, but it is there, and I am running out of time.

I am still working on this knife. I am doing a leather washer handle and making the washers by hand.... Hopefully done in a day or so. Sorry to be THAT guy....

My Trade knife is done, but I'm still working on the Sheath.
I have the sheath drawn up, just need to transfer it to the the leather and knock it out.
But it may be a few days late going out.
Workbench time has been cut down to a minimum since last Tuesday.

My four year old Orion, has been sick as heck starting Tuesday evening.
Sore throat, ear infection and fever.
Went to the Doctor Wednesday morning, started antibiotics.
Been fighting fever, trying to keep him hydrated and coax him to eat.
Back to doctor today, as this Crud is moving down to his lungs.
Orion now has Pneumonia on one side.
Doctor changed his antibiotics to something stronger.

Feel like I'm about ready to yank my beard off.
I hate the feeling of being Powerless.
I'm sure that lack of sleep isn't helping, on my part.

Thank the Maker my two year old Elyas, hasn't caught this crap yet.
But I will feel a Lot better when Orion levels off and starts getting better.
Lord let it be so.

I pray your son is better soon. I have had that crud in the past and it is no fun. Took me avoer 3 weeks to fully recover. But, kids often bounce back faster than adults do, so hopefully your son will recover quickly.

Well, here is my progress.... Its the best I could do. I really hope this knife holds up for you.  The handle is leather washers I made..... then shaped on the bet sander with 36 grit. The ( Pommel? ) is made of a large engine nut that I flattened on the anvil to make it fit the tang and hold the washers in place. I then drilled two holes and peened in two nails to lock the nut in place. A bit of black leather dye on the handle did the trick there.... Now to sharpen the knife and ship it.

Killier Duck, the knife went out yesterday.  Sorry for the delay, I had my best buddy move back down to FL and we fished our butts off last weekend and enjoyed a few too many beers. ;D

Received my knife from Killer Duck, it's a Beauty.

Only have to finish the stitching on the sheath of my trade knife to be done.
Will have it in the mail by Friday or sooner.

My boys are finally over the hump and getting better, but now I have this crud.
Went and got two big angry shots at the Doc this am.
Hoping to see this Crud in the rear view mirror ASAP.

I apologise for the delay.
