And another set from today- this one a small field/ target quiver for micro diameter arrows with a matching arm guard.

I'm doing a little work on the shop, so metal has slowed down, but I've been getting some leather out.

Thanks- yes, it's a nice way to define the faces, and Seems to hold up well with use.

New burly camp knife

An 8" stainless chefs knife with green micarta and brass pins.

Hi, Guy- yes, cotton twist (I forget if it's three or two bundle). I've done a bit of experimenting with jute and hemp, but I prefer the consistency of the cotton cord and the final impression. I originally ground this to a zero, but backed that off to a fine secondary bevel with an appleseed as it just seems more robust depending on who ends up with it. And thanks for following along on IG. Lots of process/ intermediary stuff when I get the chance.

Thanks, Doug. Ive been trying to get more even coloring with Feibings- I was quite pleased with the blue.

I think this is sword...six? This time a Type XV based loosely on several examples from the Castillon Group A swords. OAL 34.5" Blade length 28.5" Mass: 1021g POB 4.24" from the cross More info here.

Thank you- that's all belts on the grinder. I leave the flats at a lower grit for contrast, then work the bevels up. I need my new transformer hooked up before I can plug my buffer in (it's 3ph).

A new 440c belt knife, the Cooper's Hawk. I've been working on my belt finishes as my hands are not up to hand sanding every piece. Pretty happy with this on a working knife.

I saw that on IG and was wondering about the plug. Looking good, Matt!

Phillip seems to be having fun:

I can see it. Looks fun.
