midnight 657 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) here we go then . what iv done so far . this is the straight feather pattern blade its the smallest . the others sit un molested so far ! ok polishing done at this stage the handle blank is roughed out and drilled for the tang . the tang is made red hot and litrealy burned into the handle no photos of that sorry but imagine filming it ! so all metal work compleat fit is ok etc i need to re etch the blade in the acid , in it goes and an hour later it comes out like this its bought out all the pattern that was polished out some from buffer. but looks dull so its gets a go over with 2000grt wet and dry and a light buffing job done on the blade no more to do but the final killer edge and a buff up last thing a quick fit up for the camerta . blade wrapped and apoxied in place , i will leave that over night and shape sand finnish the handle with it wrapped . but that wil be tomorrows post hope you are still enjoying it ? oph the wood is nice grain american black walnut !

Rake aboot 4,929 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 That looks fantastic What are the chances that the bimetal will be felt alnong the edge ,ie, any chance of a ridge on the edge, or the metals separating? Never seen a blade like this, are you puting this up on British Blades??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
