the first fit up went pretty well! A few minor corrections needed, and no glaring flaws- so far so good

I'm stoked I was able to get this guy glued up last night!

DUUUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOD

this one is turning out real well, super happy with how things are going!

Starting to talk about the next one, but after that I'm going to concentrate on some more simple projects. Getting this pattern right is not an easy task- I mean, it's easier than the last time I did it, but still a real pull. Almost as finicky as making a folder

It's looking great Lorien.

Heck ya! Looking slick, Lorien!!

 

[Lorien]

it's coming along great! By next week my mark will be lasered on there, the edge will be applied and the sheath will *hopefully* well underway!

this one has a slightly thicker handle than the last one, so I have fewer constraints wrt sculpting. Also, the solid titanium pin at the back of the handle feels so much nicer in hand than the lanyard tube. Those two changes fundamentally change the dynamic with this knife compared to the last one. The other one is sleek and super light and nice for the pocket. This one feels like a real work knife- it has a heft to it that begs for as much whittling and camp work as you can direct it toward. But it's still a small and stealthy knife that should go unnoticed till the time comes to whip it out
