And now for something completely different
This is officially my first full custom project. I started working on it back in March. As usually it took me longer than expected - even without any major setbacks or misshaps. There was a lot that was new to me - blade shape, design, material, handle design, etching, etc.
The blade is from Swedish Damasteel, the handle from stabilised & dyed ulm burl and stabilised white ebony. Spacer is white G10.
I am very grateful for being given all the time I needed to finish. I tried to do my best to communicate in detail what is going on and what is to be done next. I have enjoyed the design process - from the blade to the handle materials. I found the communication not only enjoyable, but also vital to the whole project.
It goes without saying that the result is not 'perfect' and I will definitely be making adjustments to my process in the future - but I think that the knife turned out nicely and the positive feedback from the customer is what counts
Of course all the details can be found on my
BLOG.
Here a few photos of the finished knife:
