This thread is for my necker entry candidates. Everything not going to the challenge will be for sale, of course. Ping me if you want something.
But anyway, a general "today" shop photo
Top left: black handle and blue spacers. Combat LBK. Finally almost done, having to do the index finger groove completely by hand for various reasons.
Right of that, USAF model 57, just mucking around with some 800 grit stuff.
FKUKs are the top three right hand knives, in various stages of completion.
down in the middle are three of my neckers. I can't decide what to enter in the contest so I'm making 12. The wenge one will look a LOT more trim soon, it's got 3/16 extra handle material along the top and botton.
The ipe handled wharnie is GREAT, but I'm not sure it's got enough handle for certain tester's uses. The burgundy micarta blade is a classic design from me, though they are always a bit different- I like the fat rounded butt broad "all belly" blades. The wenge one I'll update tomorrow, when it will be a lot more clear what's going on with the caping point.
