Both of those look great!

What kind of wood did you use on that handle Sailordad?

Is that a whitetail antler DanaM?

its called lepoard wood, an exotic species from the rain forest is what i was told atthe lumber yard.

all i know is that it is hard as nails,gives ya one hell of a cough if you dont wear a particale mask when working it. i learned the hard way
i still have some so i will probably use it for tip overlays,maybe another knife or two who knows

well i finally got my knife mailed off today.
i hope you like it RADIUS  ;D
it was only the second knife i made. he first one i kept it was a prototype you could say. i used it to figure out what the heck i was doing.
enjoy and i hope you dont cut yourself,i think its got a decent edge to it.

yeah it's pretty sharp, did you heat-treat the thing?  I really like the wood of the handle...

i think i'll keep it, and figure out a way to make something for the other 2 guys...

  I'm going to give everybody a heads up if we do this again. This all went off without a hitch with everybody getting great knives except for the two people picked by Radius. Not only is he going to keep the one's he got but might send two partial finished knives to the ones he drew.

 It's people like this that ruin these kind of things and leave a bad taste in peoples mouths. When Madcrow called him out on this in a PM, his first reply was " Blow Me", nice guy, huh? I'd think long and hard about entering any kind of trade with Radius in the future.

 Well you got your knives, Radius, hope you enjoy them.

Madcrow send me the name of one of radius' draws, I will be more than happy to send out a knife.
I won't have time to make one for at least a month but be assured I will get one made as soon as possible.
I can't stand the thought that people entered this in good faith and they are going to get screwed.

Well said eddie.

Noted....I was not involved in this trade but I do follow these threads with great interest.  Radius is added to the naughtly list...SHAME ON HIM!

Probably should check his participation on the Christmas thread too.... >:(
