Niroc Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Here is one of my two Sydney show scores... I need to take a picture of the other one... A Bruce Barnett Hunter in W2 with a fantastic Hamon. This one is a Zac Cheong Flipper with fully hand engraved titanium scale. I got to say this is the nicest folding knife I have ever held. The engraving is just perfect by one of the newest engravers on the Aussie knife scene "Danae" She is a very talented young lady. I commissioned a light weight simple pack folder, and git a stunning work of art. Could not be happier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optic Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Yes that is a nice looking bit of work. I have an engraver here with all sorts of points for it. That is something i intend to try out. Having seen her work, it sure puts pressure on to get something to look any where as good as that. She has the shading just spot on.

optic Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) Jarrah mate. I thought so. Any one want a bit. Is that handle held on by the single pin shown? Nice looking knife. im guessing the blade has been treated? Edited August 29, 2014 by optic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optic Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) It was destined for the heater in the shed Geoff. Until i took a bit and cleaned it up Ill try and put a pic up of it. Even the hard wood floor boards look good cleaned up. I have no idea how old this timber is but the Jarrah is stamped on the back with the words Bunnings WA. It did explode when i lifted the boards. And that name is well before the lot that are around today. Also a sample of what Ipch brought back from the Desert. The pic does not do it justice. Its just a small branch off the larger piece, Of which. i have 2 off. The larger logs appear to be a dark red in color. And hard stuff.

Niroc Posted August 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Yest handle will be held by single pin only... Bruce is on his way to becoming a master smith. He has already passed the cutting and bend test where he had to make a stick tang knife with 300 layer damascus fixed with a single pin, put the tip in the vice and bend it to 90 degrees without anything breaking, so I have little doubt this one will take all abuse I can throw at it...

optic Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Yes that is a guy that understands and has belief in his work. Well done to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optic Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I got Blaise to pull out the planks of jarrah and put them in the Quad shed. She tells me there are more than 20 x over 2 mtrs long so there is plenty of it Geoff. Ill saw some up and send you a bag of them. What length do you want them cut at?

gafloss Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Thanks, Richard. 130-150mm would be great. I'll grab them when I see you in a month, or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
