Post by: prarieboy on March 15, 2010, 10:01:00 PM

My latest attempt is a file! Brass up front/mosaic pin/brass pins/copper lanyard tube/exotic? and gym floor scales.

And the knife that is what it wanted to be.
 I thought I knew what  it should be
 and it knew what it was gonna be at least 3/4" shorter and 1/2" less belly!

I like the contrast in the handles.  I would leave a bit more belly in the blades, it would make them more usefull for multiple chores.  Is there a reason you make the handles so skinny.  With my meat hook hands, I would struggle to hold them firmly.

Nice work.  You are progressing with each knife.

Thanks Ragnarok The handles are pretty well egg shaped and easier to hold on to than Ya might think.I have a pair of meat hooks too LOL!
