OT - my kid can't take this to school for show and tell
But he made it from some odds and ends in a box of parts a friend gave him:

That is great. Where did the blade come from?

That boy of yours has got SKILLS! Great job on that one....never seen a 550 cord handle, and done well I might add.

A job well done!! Congratulate him for me. You have reason to be proud of him as if you didn't already know.

Excellent job!
Re: OT - my kid can't take this to school for show and tell
That is decidedly something to be proud of. Now he needs a leather sheath for it and a levergun and he is ready to go.

Your son ought to be feeling very satisfied - he has every right to !
That is simply excellent !
YMMV, but I've never seen as nice a job of wrapping a hilt w/paracord as that one - and I HAVE an Ek so wrapped.
Please congratulate him for me.

Well, we did keep him locked in the basement for the first ten years or so...Ysabel Kid wrote:Where'd he learn to lash like that?
Dunno - no markings. Was in a box of 'parts' a friend gave us. It sure is really good steel, though - we had to use an electric grinder just to get the edge started (I did that, so it is my fault there are scratches on it), then he used a coarse then fine diamond stone, then polished it with a hard Arkansas. It will slice a paper towel without the towel tearing or getting any fibers on the blade.Modoc ED wrote:What brand is the knife blade?
I guess we'll start on the sheath-making; he already has the levergun.piller wrote:That is decidedly something to be proud of. Now he needs a leather sheath for it and a levergun and he is ready to go.
During his years as a SWAT team member, he wasn't really into leverguns (they clashed with the head-gear )...
but since then he earned this 1894 by killing me a deer with it.
(...but he ain't gettin' the Super Blackhawk! )...

Re: OT - my kid can't take this to school for show and tell
How did he do that? That is really great work and I have some blank blades that I would like to do the same thing.
Too bad about the show and tell. I have to say this. Last night I saw a video tape of Mary's nephew( she is my fiance) who perfomed a skit on the Swine Flu. He and a couple of friends had constructed a news broadcast and in this he protrayed Barack Obama in black face aka Al Jolson.
He portayed all of his mannerisms to a tee but I was really surprised that he got a good grade and that he wasn't called down to one of the administrators office for some sort of punitive action or counseling session.

This could be an opportunity for him to earn a substantial living as a cutlery craftsman, or would you call it a "knifesmith"? Anyway, I'm with you on BOORTZ/NUGENT in 2012!!!! jd45

Don't laugh but it is in the Ocean State. Good Ole Rhode Island. Again, I was surprised there wasn't a big meeting with parties involved regarding that whole scene.

I wasn't surprised, being an Ocean-stater myself.
