Brian Myers Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Just a bit of a teaser. Still need some finish on the handle. It's made with 1084 with scales of eucalyptus with brass pinnings. Still needs a oil rub and a protective top coat. It's got an 800 grit satin rubbed finish on the blade. Let's call the Tennessee Toothpick lol.

Brian Myers Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 It'll take a lot before I ever work with eucalyptus again! This stuff is dense! I've seen seasoned hickory that works easier than this. Luckily the oil for the finish does penetrate lol. It'll take a lot of damage to screw this wood up.

Brian Myers Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Well my Toothpick is done lol. 1084 with oil-rubbed eucalyptus scales. I don't have the material for a sheath so I have to apologize for that. Based on what I've observed during HT and temper, it should have a Rockwell hardness close to sixty, so it'll stand a lot of abuse. I hope this is acceptable for the KITH. If not it'll serve well as a shop knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
