Chris Christenberry Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Not tickled with the photo, but when I finished this knife last night, I was too tired to set up all my lighting equipment, etc. This is a carving knife. 7" long. I call it Ebony & Ivory (what else?). Blade is 3/8" wide by 1 1/2" long, made of 01 Tool Steel. Handle is Gabon Ebony, Brass, Red Fiber, Walrus Ivory and Cocobolo. Handle is sanded to 000 steel wool, with no finish. Will eventually be electro-etching blades with the CC logo. Edited April 24, 2019 by Chris Christenberry 3 Chris www.chrischristenberry.com WHEW!!!

Charles dP Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Looks a good shape. The cocobolo is lovely too. "The way we win matters" (Ender Wiggins) Orson Scott Card Nos, qui libertate donati sumus, nes cimus quid constet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Christenberry Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Thanks, guys. My late Uncle was not only a good carver, but a very popular carving knife maker. One of his knives had this handle shape and has become my favorite. When I decided I was going to try and fill the void his death left in the carving community, this was the shape handle I locked onto. Of course, I won't be making the handles as fancy/complicated as this one.........it was for my own tool bag. The others will be single wood species handles. Chris www.chrischristenberry.com WHEW!!!
