Raksha Report post Posted June 22, 2018 I made this one to night. Saw a youtube video posted here on less knife more beveler (or something similar) and it really gave me a LOT of solutions on my problem with swiveknife work. Still have some stray toolmarks and so on, but hey - progress is progress Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not the best thing I've ever tooled, but the only thing I've ever sketched free hand for tooling. So there's that. Also, now I know why I don't practice flowers on keychains: waaaay too small! Not really practice! Entirely different beastie. I keep getting more and more respect for those capable of tooling Sheridan on tiny stuff like swivel knife sheaths! Quarter for scale. I'll get it dried and antiqued over the next week or so, we'll see how it looks when its done. YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having tried, I can comfortably say yours came out pretty well! YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
