Knife #3
« on: May 11, 2013, 11:22:18 pm »
OK - last knife posting for a while. This is #3 for the June 1 market. It is a longer drop point with a heavier blade and stainless trim rather than brass, finished with Purple heart scales. It has a guard, but not the protective finger guard like #1 and #2 had. The stainless tube in the lanyard hole is a lot harder to finish than the brass on #1 and #2. Grinding it down, it gets hot enough to burn the wood.

I shaped this handle, then buffed with red rouge - it makes a nice finish, but it looks less purple than when I started.
