Knife pics
« on: July 28, 2008, 10:10:37 pm »
Here's a knife I made for Chris (Mechslasher). I started it a long time back, and finally got a chance to finish it up. The blade was knapped from a "boulder" of purple slag glass that I found at a rock shop, and the handle is spalted birdseye maple and purpleheart. The pics don't do the wood grain justice, the maple is a beautiful chunk of wood. I couldn't get the flake scars to show up good in the pics, either. Anyhow:

Nice Steve. Looks good even in the flesh so to speak. Like the purple heart.  :-X  BTW I started cutting that other piece of purple heart I had left into 3/8 sq. pieces for fore shafts, and MAN that stuff is hard. Changed the saw blade 22 times.   ;D  Just kidding.

Thanks again, fellers. Dick, that purpleheart should look just a wee bit familiar.  ;D The main trouble I've had with it is keeping it from burning/glazing brown if you work it with power tools.
