R.W. Deavers 80 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I know I've been quiet for a while. I have been working on a few projects which will be shown in the near future. One of those projects is being shown here before heat treating. All six blades are forged from leaf spring. The handle treatment will be walnut with brass pins and liners, nothing too fancy (that'll be the next project). Once I get these blades finished, I'll also be making a block to store these in.

R.W. Deavers 80 Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Okay, I know it's been a while since I last posted anything or even have been on here. I've had some computer issues, but now it seems to be taken care of. Here is the finished set. The handles are full tang with walnut scales, brass liners and pins. I'm still working on the block design for these. You are NEVER too old to learn something new. Link to post Share on other sites

Connor Lyons 15 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Super awesome, curious how you did the serrations? I'd love to see a close up of them Link to post Share on other sites
R.W. Deavers 80 Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Those serrations were hand filed, every single one. Tedious, yes, but worth it. You are NEVER too old to learn something new. Link to post Share on other sites
