Day 11 - Something Different
Rick Hinderer makes some pretty awesome folding knives; so it kind of surprised me when I found these two knives by Rick. The first is his take on a Chute Knife; the other - a damascus "letter opener". The letter opener is marked "RH" - several years ago at a knife show in Ohio Rick looked at it, said it was his work, and wrote the info on the back of one of my business cards.
 Chute Knife  Letter Opener

Bowie
Nearing completion on the big Bowie I'm making. All that is left is to send it off for heat treating and then pin the handle and polish.
Blade: D2 heat treated to 59 Rockwell (hopefully) and then cryo treated to convert any remaining austenite to martensite. Handle: Golden Ebony. Twice as hard as red oak, sinks in water. I will probably put a sealer on it to prevent darkening with age, but it requires no finish and can be polished to a mirror finish with fine crocus cloth. Sheath: 5/32" thick tooling leather, finished to match the ebony. Here is what it looks like. It will be shinier after completion.
