Unfortunately, I did not do much knifemaking and I won't for a few more weeks. I have other, urgent duties right now. However, I managed to give my last three knives for auction.
I had some hiccups with my auction account so my last three knives still are not for sale. In the meantime, I am going to continue to make new knives. I still have several naked blades that need finishing. Now I wish to continue with two bowie blades.
The third knife I wish to present here is "Black Woolf". A big camping/hunting knife with a curved blade. This time a full-length tang with a wooden handle. The blade is from spring steel 54SiCr6 blackened with oak bark extract.
Starting the auctions was unfortunately delayed, Aukro is still in the process of transforming my account from personal to business.
I will set the knives for sale one per week for the next three weeks. Partly because I would not have much to write about otherwise – the spring approaches and I am currently completely overwhelmed with non-knife work – and partly because I think it is better to give each knife its article and not to dump them in...
Tree new knives and their sheaths are finished. Today I will present just the sheaths, due to time constraints.
Works on the third sheath do not progress as quickly as I would like, unfortunately. At the moment, it is sewn and sanded and in the process of being dyed. And while I was waiting for the dye to dry, I went for a walk in the forest. Just a walk for mental and physical health. However, I might have found some unique materials for knife making....
Two sheaths of three are finally finished, thus today I will shortly write about dyeing and finishing them.
Slowly, and unsurely, the work continues. The sheaths are finally sewn and in the process of dyeing.
Unfortunately, I did not manage to do as much as I wanted to because other duties get in the way, but the work on the sheaths did progress somewhat.
