Myles Mulkey Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I think you've really perfected your style. Every new piece is great. This one is no exception. By The Red Embers - my blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Parkinson Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 that is totally bad ass. I really love the minimalist style of carving on the grip, the horn Odin and scroll work is sweet. (I think I might just have to copy the Odin Idea for one I am working on right now. ... sorry) MP Web site http://www.dragonsbreathforge.com Insagram account http://instagram.com/swordmatt# Blog http://mpmetal.tumblr.com/ Facebook https://www.facebook/dragonsbreathforge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Sideris Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Oh Petr. If I wasn't already in love with you this knife would have done it for sure. You just get how to do things elegantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Colwell Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Petr, I like this style a great deal, as you know. I love my little knife. I keep it on a display shelf near our pool table, so when people come over for fun and games, they always comment on your work. Seeing all of this good stuff with wrought iron has inspired me to try and use more of it. More later on that, if the baby lives through heat treatment. great work, as always. kc please visit my website http://www.professorsforge.com/ “Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth. I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.” E. V.

Kevin Colwell Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 by the way, you still never answered my question - do you suggest primarily hand tools or power and rotary tools when working antler? kc please visit my website http://www.professorsforge.com/ “Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth.

Stéphane A. Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I've watched and learned a lot during the birth of this knife. Petr showed me the process and he works fast If I wasn't around asking questions and taking his time this knife could have been done much quicker. Dremel for antler is a dream. I'd never imagined if could carve so clean. However the scraper "finish" is a must. Cracking little knife Stéph My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
