here is a pic of a knife thats finally gotten finished. the scales are made of olivewood, i used 4 brass and stainless mosaic pins. the blade is made from 5mm thick 12C27 it is 206mm oal with a blade 88mm sorry for the crappy pics /Roger

here is a pair of pics of the last 2 peices of leatherwork done... nothing fancy just secure and functional. all thats left to do is beadblast the knives and put an edge on the blades. /Roger

Thanks for the info guys. /Roger

i was wonderingf if anyone here has used elefant as inlays, and if so whats it like to work with... my next question is who do i turn to for getting my hands on some small peices? /Roger

here are a couple of pics of the leather work taking shape /Roger

all thats left for 2 of these is a beadblast and some oil and the other 2 have to have the final sanding and polish done. /Roger

Hi everyone, here is a pic of a knife i finished of yesterday, the blade is odins eye Damasteel and the scales are some form of briar (according to the new owner of the knife who sent the scales) it is 9,4" long x 1,6" wide x 0,2" thick. the blade is 4,75" long. /Roger

damasteel makes their billets from pmc 27 and rwl34 it isn´t a traditional damascus in the sence of welding 2 or more steels together they make it from powder and weld it under high preasure, after that they coin it, twist it or whatever they have to to get the patterns they want. check out their website http://www.damasteel.com/index.html /Roger

here are a few pics of my latest sheath with it´s knife the knife is made from Damasteel with snakewood scales and a 0.02" thick black liner. it is 9.85" long, 1.6" wide and has a blade thats 5.12" long measured diagonally from the plunge to the tip. there are a couple of small things to do to it before it goes out the door. what do you all think of the leather work and the knife? /Roger

well when i was in the service the gun i had there was duracoated and it held upp well. so i´m hoping it´ll do the same on this knife...a few i´ve talked to that have tried it are happy with it.. /Roger

here is a pair of knives which i might have shown before, but now i´ve gotten the sheaths nearly finished... just the final moulding and colouring of them to go.. first there is a recurve in A2 it is 270 x 40 x 6,5mm and a blade 142mm skales are of black paper mikarta and the blade has a coat of matt grey duracoat. next is a little one in Damasteel it is 167 x 31 x 2,5mm with a blade 83mm scales are mammoth here is what the sheaths ended upp like /Roger /Roger

thanks everyone for the feedback... /Roger
