I'm currently working on this prototype design Utility/Hunter. This one is 1075 with a Hamon. The guard is bronze, which will have a forced patina, and the handle is walnut, which I am presently giving the Tru-Oil treatment. The pins will be hand domed, so they will be inserted when the finish is complete. That way I can ding it all up. I will tweak the next few of these until I feel the design is dialed in sufficiently.

Yep, I really like the coffin handle design after recently building a coffin handle bowie, which I will post up soon. The tru oil finish is nearly complete. I will throw a pic up here when it's finished. Thanks for the kind words.Coffin like Bowie influence on that handle? Very nice spacing on those holes. I would love to be there when you hit it with the first shot of Tru-Oil and witness that wood come alive
Torque, you obviously know how to work wood.
Have a look at tantos where the handle and sheath are made out of a single piece of wood.
With the knife in the sheath it looks like a single piece. Top and bottom line, just a straight line.
I think that would improof the looks if your work.
Mark, Good video - your car must have ended up with an inch of sawdust on it
Carving knife. I'm not very happy with lot of the details, but at this point i'm chasing my own tail trying to get it better. So I'm calling it done
View attachment 1178220 What's going on in my shop? Not much, been waiting 6+ weeks for the 9" disc to arrive. Was told in the beginning it would be 2-3 weeks, tops.
Yes, the MFG keeps pushing the date back on the supplier. I found one in stock from a different supplier yesterday, tracking shows it will be here day after tomorrow. The supplier has always given me excellent service, I'm not pissed at him, he's been left hanging by something out of his control and sounded as frustrated as I felt.Who are you getting the disc from? Are they waiting on the MFG?
