Knife Trio...WIP

[woodbloke]

Here's a pic of the marking knife trio that I've been doing at the moment:

Handles in African Blackwood and Ebony have been turned with an 8mm hole in the end of each The blades have been roughly cut from some of Chisels old b/s blades and need further work to shape, harden and temper them. The brass suppositories :shock: have also been roughly cut and shaped, each will need to be sanded and polished before all the assembly work begins. I'll post another pic later when I've done a bit more on them - Rob

A bit more has been done, the blades have been hardened, tempered and ground. They've been set into the the brass blade holders and epoxied into the handles:

...which have been covered in masking tape as there is still quite a lot of cleaning up work to yet - Rob
