1084 blackwood and bocote
« on: February 07, 2018, 08:45:56 am »
Just thought I'd share the most recent knife I'm working on.  Made from .25" thick 1084 carbon steel with blackwood and bocote handle.  Still needs the final polished edge and working on the sheath.

I still have'nt figured out how to imbed kmages from Imgur, will see if this works this time

Thanks!  How do you add the picuture?  I've tried clicking the image button and putting the link between the bracketed image codes and get nothing.  Tried editing the link by removing parts.

Thanks, guys.  I've been making knives alot longer than I've been making firewod bows.  Hopefully I'll have a bow or two soon that I'll feel comfortable sharing.

 diesel,
            Nice blade man...Really like the handle material and fit...A lot of extra work goes into dressing one up like that...What did you use to heat treat the blade...Also what quenching oil did you use...
                                                                                                                                          Don
Genesis 27:3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
