A New Fillet Knife

 

More Sheath Work

Thought I'd try something a little different... idea stolen from another knife maker's site.

And another leather one that was meant for the leopard wood fillet knife but didn't come out quite right... fits this old Chicago Cutlery knife pretty well though...

#12 - Fillet Knife

First Fillet knife. Blade from USAKnifemakers; Leopardwood scales; Corian, brass and black spacers. Finished with Tru-Oil Gunstock finish.

Number 11 - Just a Quickie

This is a Sarge/Rockler kit knife with birch plywood handle scales. Thought I'd try something quick and easy on this spare blade to see how the plywood comes out.

Working on my Sheath Skills

# 10

Made a sheath and didn't have knife to fit it. So I had this Camillus kit knife laying around and decided to put Bolivian Rosewood handle on it and tried Tru-Oil gunstock finish for the first time.

#9 New Materials and Recycled Burl

Came out OK. Some flaws. A few problems with lining up the spacers and getting the scales to fit against the guard. First time working with this blue synthetic turquoise. And kind of cheesed the finish on the brass guard so tried stippling it... hmmm.
