Popular Post gafloss Posted August 23, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Here's a few pics of my latest knife. The blade is 440c with stabilised birdseye redgum & a black/white/black spacer, stainless & brass mosaic pins and a stainless lanyard hole. The push-fit sheath is actually brown but the crappy little camera doesn't like photographing leather properly. The handle is a bit slimmer than usual as it has been made to fit a female hunter's hand. Even though redgum is a dense wood, it 's grain is a little more open than some other Aussie hardwoods, hence you can see the light reflecting off some of the open grain. It can be filled but I like to keep as much of the original texture of the wood a possible. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltonaHunter Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Nicely done Geoff. The spacers conrtast nicely and the redgum looks great. Im surprised the redgum came up that well really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optic Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Well done Geoff. That looks real nice. An interesting sheaf mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafloss Posted August 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 More of a pack sheath but it fits the knife quite firmly. You can get three fingers around the handle to pull the blade out & it's ready to go in a comfortable position in the hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gafloss Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Lovely Geoff, where do you buy all the components from mate? I've recently been put on to an Aussie distributor (http://gameco.com.au/) but most of it has come from various places in the US. I don't have the time, space or equipment to make the actual blades myself...yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only hope, Richard. I've actually blocker her until she calms down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinbadpaul Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 A really nice knife Geoff, your attention to detail is spot on, im a bit more rough arsed than that, LOL I think the mosiac pins are well worth the extra cost, as they really improve the finished article in my opinion Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafloss Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 your attention to detail is spot on LOL More like compulsive obsessive I think, Paul. I wish I could spend more time actually making them & less time thinking & worrying about it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
