Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Reubjames: I made two Zulus when I started this one a few weeks ago. I will be finishing the 2nd one in the next day or two. It doesn't have a clip, and is a more traditional style with rounded scales and stainless bolsters. I'll post a couple pics when it's wrapped up. ETA: after carrying it for a couple days, I've decided the clip is a bit big so I'm going to reduce the size a bit. I like the simplicity of it as it fits but looks wise it seems a bit big |

Originally Posted By Star_Scream: I like the simplicity of it as it fits but looks wise it seems a bit big Yeah it's definitely too long and the tip is curved out too much. I based the length off some of my production knives but those are bigger knives in general, I should have scaled it down a bit. It catches on stuff. I'd rather do a wire clip which are much easier on clothes, furniture, cars, etc. but I haven't figured out a good way to do a wire clip yet. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DFARM: Work in progress pics are also awesome. I can do that. I'm about to start another batch of 4 this week. I'll try to capture a start to finish set of pics along the way. Here is the status of the twin to that one I posted yesterday. Both were started and heat treated at the same time. It's ready for a final polish on the internal parts and then will peen it together in the next day or two. Then figure out if I want to apply a finish to the handle material. It's a chunk of some kind of industrial caster that another knife maker sent me to play with. I think it may need to be sealed with something like tru-oil, it was dusty as hell when grinding.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rbb2: I like the shape of that one. Not sure about the material though. I get it's fun to play with stuff, but it doesn't really look all that attractive IMO. Yeah I agree, it's not as nice as I was hoping for. It's all part of the learning experience. The photos I saw from the other maker that sent me the scrap looked a bit better than how these are looking. I need to see how he finished them. This will be the only knife made with that material since I used all of it that he sent me. It does look better when wiped with oil. That's why I think a slick finish like tru-oil may make it look a bit better once complete. I will say it's very smooth now that it's sanded to 1000 grit. It'll slip very nicely into a pocket. I usually try to stick with G-10 or micarta. I'm probably going to order a few pieces from G.L. Hansen to use on at least one of these in the next batch but damn it's hard to pick out a single pattern from them. ETA: I definitely appreciate the feedback, it helps me gauge my styles. I get tunnel-vision on them since I spend hours working with each one. |
