Wedding gift knives
« on: October 04, 2015, 09:11:10 am »
My niece got married yesterday.  Instead of buying them a gift I wanted to make them something.  I decided on a his and hers knife set out of a large file.  She deer hunts some so I made her a small skinner.  He doesn't hunt yet so I made him more of a utility style knife.  I used walnut for the scales and beaver tail for the sheaths. They haven't seen them yet.  They are opening gifts Monday evening.

Nice work, Clint.   How do you cut out the blanks. Looks like you annealed the file.

I can see it,,,, you'll turn into a knife maker instead of a Bow maker. Looking good, Clint. They ought to love them.

Real nice Clint!  Watch out it can become a addictive hobby. Only reason I got out of it I do enough metal work at work. Once you learn how to start manipulating metal it's pretty fascinating what you can do to it

One thing I always liked about metal was when you cut it to short you could weld a piece back on. Can't do that with wood. Well, Del thinks you can >:D

You know remove wood until it bends too much and then back up a step

Excellent looking knives, Clint! Always enjoy reading your varied posts.
