Final posting of the knife box project - PICS

[Dennis Peacock]

Very nice work Dennis.
Any chance of getting one or both of those "Bladesmiths" to make some custom marking knives? Might be something I'm interested in.

Depends on what you want and how much money you have.! These guys are NOT cheap and their cheapest knife is in the HUNDREDS of dollars. I'll ask Ron and see.

That might be a little rich for my blood. I was thinking along the lines of some sort of limited production run with unique wooden handles.Maybe some 'Creekers might like to jump aboard.

You might want to also check with our own Dave Anderson. He makes beautiful marking knives with exotic wood handles. You'll likely find him over in that forum where they don't use lectricity
Looks like he doesn't have the chester toolworks web site up yet but you can pm him from here.

I have 2 of Dave's Stiking knives. One I put into service and the other just sits and looks pretty

Here is another shot of the knife...looking at the end of the knife.

I don't know if I have a "good" pic of the knife with the blade open or not. I'll have to look and see what I have and will post it if I have one.

Dennis, Fantastick Job! That box looks great! No wonder you had to handle the knife with gloves, Damascus is so very easily prone to rust. I am amazed at how well you worked under this kind of pressure. What kind of finish did you use (sorry if I missed it along the way).

Great Job! And I can't wait for the tutorial on the wooden hinges - I definiteley would have chose those over the bullet hunges.

[John Shuk]

Thanks Tom and Tyler. I might just do that.

That is beautiful project. I am not worthy!!

BTW.. Its a Bowie knife. Its named after Jim Bowie of Wild West fame.
