BearMan Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 Hi Everybody, Here is a Small Knife & Case I just finished. The case is about 5 1/2" long by about 1 7/8" wide, with the widest tooling area about 1 1/4" wide. At the thickest point, the edge is 7 layers thick, just under an inch. The edge burnishing was done with my canvas cloth. Aprox. 8 stitches per inch, with "skip Stitching" in the areas where the tooled tendrils are in the way. I just couldn't stitch over them. The stitch is actually hidden behind / under the surface. The tooling on this one goes on top of the thin border,,, & under it. The colors didn't cove out quite as bright as I wanted, as I made this out of a piece of fairly dark "chestnut skirting". The knife is 5" long, with Bolivian Rosewood handles, decorative center pin, & brass & copper retaining pins. The knife has decorative file work on the top of the blade. Thanks for looking,,,, Ed the"BearMan" Quote
hidepounder Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 Great job Ed.....pretty tricky with the stitching, too! Bob Quote
MADMAX22 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 Cool setup. That is one thick edge. Agreed on the cool stitching idea. Quote

BearMan Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Posted June 6, 2009 Hi, Thanks Bob, I kinda had to think about that, to keep from stitching over the terdrils. Thanks Max... Weaselrunner,,, No, I didn't make it,,, I just kinda "tweeked" it a bit. Ed Quote
