3rd Annual Christmas Trade Revised
sailordad:
Eddie,
i am so glad you like it.that is to date the longest blade i have made.
the handle i made from a piece of black walnut.it was a small branch that i worked down by hand with a rasp.
i did that to try and get the grain to match the arc of the knife.i left just a touch of sap wood on it in a couple of spots.
it has 15 coats of tongue oil hand rubbed on it to get the high luster shine like that.
the stand is made from either bloodwood or paduak(cant remember which i had laying on the bench)but i think its the blood wood.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
peace,
tim
Okie:

sailordad:
well iwasnt having very good day at work today,everything that could go wrong did.
when i came home from lunch i was in a bitter mood.
when what caught my eye.
there was a box wedged in m y front storm door.
well this got me curious,so once i got in the house and made my sandwich i sat donw and
opened the box up and man oh man that made my day.
i was elated with what was inside,it turned my crappy day into one of sheer excitment
i got a very very sweet hawk.
man i realy wanted one of these too.
this was a gift from John Ively(i hope i spelled it right hard to read sorry)
any how this thing is sweet,looks hand forged to me.
gotta ask how ya made the head.
all i know is it could be lethal.i took a half swing and just let the weight of my arm drive the hawk down and it went .75 inch ito a 2x4
thanks John i love it man
hers a pic
mullet:
