Members TTcustom Posted June 18, 2010 Members Report Posted June 18, 2010 I had a bit of knife blank steel left over and so I made a right hand skiving knife with a walnut handle. Quote
Members Somawas Posted June 18, 2010 Members Report Posted June 18, 2010 If you don't have my new maul finished yet, I'd be your friend if you sent me one of those, too. (Nice work.) Quote
Members bentley Posted June 18, 2010 Members Report Posted June 18, 2010 Looks nice Tim, you sure seem to have a lot of friends lately, haha. Quote
Members sheridanman Posted June 19, 2010 Members Report Posted June 19, 2010 hi TTcustom i rally like the skiving knife not to mention your choice of woods for handles. i like to know since you mentioned this is for a right hander. is the blade flat on the side that lays on the leather and the bevel is on the top side of the blade when you use it? or both sides have beveled angles? i never had a skiving knife before. although i have an old english paring knife that has a beveled angle only on one side and that side is on top when use it. teh underside of the blade which faces the leather is flat. i am a right hander too. i would love to have one of your tools. the maul and this skiving knife. great work! thanks ritch Quote
Members TTcustom Posted June 21, 2010 Author Members Report Posted June 21, 2010 Ritch, It is flat on one side and beveled on the other. I was making my version of a Osborne #469A skiving knife. I was lucky to have some nicely figured walnut on hand to make the handles with. Bentley, Hey I got my saddle tree and got started on it Saturday. I guess now I will have a chance to put all my new tools to use! somawas, If I can do it you can too! Quote
