New Project - Sambar Stag Trapper

Blade and Spring, hardened and tempered. First thing in the morning I will grind the blade and hand polish it. My aim is to finish it tomorrow. I will keep you posted on my progress.

Project completed

A couple of small problems were cutting through the guard and fitting the guard snug. Other than that I am pretty pleased with my effort. The best part of the whole project is that they are all sold! Selling price $280. Let me know if you are interested in having one of these.

Progress on Hunting knives

At this point I got the guards on and also the antler handles. I have polished the crowns, they look stunning! All that has to be done now is to shape the guards and finish them off. I'll post some pics shortly.

Good day guys
I have been away from my blog for to long and spending to much time in my knife shop. I am working on an order of 9 hunting knives with antler handles. I hand polished 9 blades today. My shoulders are hurting...but what a good feeling of achievement!
