WES 4 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 It's been a long haul lately having my insides chopped up, and soon to be pieced back together, but I finally finished this knife for a very patient customer. The wire inlay job did not turn out as well as I'd hoped, and I've got another order coming up using ALOT of solid 24ct wire, so My game had better improve as waste wire will get expensive. This blade is 440 layers of 1084&15n20, guard is n/s, handle is walnut. Wes Link to post Share on other sites

Rossi Knives 0 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) Although the package as a whole is very nice ,I'm particularly fond of the carving! Shawn I agree! I especially like how the wire inlay compliments the carving and I love the angled ricasso shoulder. -Nick Edited January 22, 2010 by Rossi Knives Link to post Share on other sites

Doug Lester 281 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Didn't come out the way you hoped! What were you hoping for? That handle absolutely rocks the house. If there's anything wrong with it I can't see it. Doug Lester Link to post Share on other sites

If there's anything wrong with it I can't see it. Doug Lester Well,,,the wire could be blended much better, and I've done much better in the past, and my tapering could have been better too, and I usually do a better job at my finishing and definition of the carving. The reason I let it go too soon is because the customer was insisting on it since he had waited long enough due to my surgery and recovery time. Wes Link to post Share on other sites
