Kerryanne Report post Posted August 2, 2015 That's really nice, what's the stingray feel like? Was it nice to work with? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frederiek Report post Posted August 2, 2015 It feels like... really coarse sandpaper but polished, it's flexible but the 'beads' (lacking a better word) are hard like glass. Cutting it in a straight line is almost impossible! Not easy to work with but very rewarding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

capsterdog Report post Posted August 2, 2015 Both are wonderful, love the stingray. You did a great job on centering the white spine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce H Report post Posted August 2, 2015 Wow...Thats really, really nice! The knife is excellent with good file work and a nice grind! What steel? Thats one of the best dangler sheaths I've seen...X2 on centering the spine! Been wanting to build a nice knife grinder and have had my eye on the polar bear grinder in a box. Your skills are awesome! Thanks for sharing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MonicaJacobson Report post Posted August 3, 2015 Very nice! I love the knife - the handle is spalted/rotted/maple? The sheath is lovely. Very clean, really cool use of the stingray. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frederiek Report post Posted August 3, 2015 Thanks all very much!! The steel is O1 with stainless corby bolts and mosaic pin, the wood is stabilised (vacuum treated with resin) spalted beech. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
