Too bad that the pandemic has reduced this year’s “fifth season” to mainly online-events again. We are missing the best parts
But this way we can stay focused on these good looking knives

True words, Peter!

I owe you the pics of the finished pathfinder and Trapper.

Lohmann Niolox blades, Nickel silver trimmings, Sambar stag and Birchbark handles.

I think they make a very nice set together, and the birchbark is something else.

Yesterday I have put them in the hands of a very happy customer.

Beautiful!

Those are very nice. I’m sure the customer was one happy camper!
Looking forward to your next build.

Works of Art for sure!

Outstanding work, Gert! Really impressive.

Thank you all very much for your compliments, gentlemen!

Next up is a nr. 2 Fighting Stiletto.

Will post pictures shortly.

Well then, for the next one.

Here's a picture of the blade blank in the vise. I am filing the guidance grooves with a square file. The steel in between will later be filed away with a flat bastard file.
The guide lines for filing are clearly visible.

This knife will get a 7" Lohmann Steel Niolox blade.

Filing almost complete. After that, sanding to 180 and 400 grit before heat treatment.
