I'm ready

[diesel]

Ready to start my 2017 knife season up. Gonna make a 14" Bowie/chopper to start out. Gonna use D2 tool steel (has become my favorite blade metal as it's hard as hell and doesn't need treatment with kid gloves) and a wood/metal/composite handle. Will post some pics when I get started.

Thanks, Dan!
Don't forget, your invited down here to hunt turkeys this year again, just let me know.

If the birds are as hot as they were last year, look out. I killed two boss toms last year in about 5 days.

Well, finally gave up on my sander build and bought a partial one. Got it working yesterday after a week of making small parts that it needed.
After 3 months of useless work, i'm again ready to start my "bowie chopper."

This sander will cut my grinding time by 80% Can't wait to get started!

That's a nice sander post pics of your next project.

Thanks, Dan. Here are cut-outs of my next 2 builds;



a simple "hunter" for my neighbor's nephew and the "bowie chopper" for a good friend of mine.

Well, finally got the hunter done for my neighbors nephew.
Next, finish the bowie.
The blade is D-2 tool steel and the grips are imported, Italian olive wood. I really like the wood, how bout you guys?

 

[daniellawecki]

The wood looks really good as well as the knife your the man. Just for hell of it what does one cost?

 

[diesel]

One like that around $100.00 with a homemade sheath. For you, much less.
Also less for anyone on this site.
