Ready to go

I have just finished stitching and burnishing the leather sheaths, also etching my logo onto the blades. now I need to get them to the shop. I'm so excited. 

Making some sheaths

I'm just about stitch these sheaths and burnish the leather. I must say, I learn more every time how to do this better and neater. I have an image in my mind of how I want it to look and in always chasing it. 

Shaping the handles

I've never seen such light grained teak before. I started shaping the two knives that had set, working with a twelve hour epoxy has its perks in that it gives you less stress while working with it. 

Coming together

I have only cleaned up and epoxied two of the three knives for my first consignment. Looking good so far, I'm excited to see them finished up. 

Heat treat

I just finished Heat treating all the blades now for clean up. Looking forwards to sculpting these handles. 

Knives for my first consignment

I got busy on some knives for a shop in pietermaritzburg. Three of the same knife just slight variation to make different price ranges. Looking good, I'm glad I have this opporunity.
