New knife with a "twist"


Cascabel

Recommended Posts

Here is a new knife I made as a gift to my sweetheart. It's a fantasy piece, rather than historical. The blade is made from a compressor blade from a jet engine, and has quite a bit of twist to it. The handle is made from Black Palm wood. It's a pretty big knife with, a blade length of about 9 inches. If you look at the pic showing the top view, you can see the twist. I think it looks pretty exotic !!

Beautiful work sir. Never would have thought a jet fan blade could come in so handy. Do you need a list of people to try it out on? :blink:

Okay so you didn't use any type of core just let the leather form around the blade. What weight did you use?

I dunno, just some I had on hand, about 3/16" thick. Didn't feel the need for a core. Instead of sewing it, I laced it together with brass wire to be a bit different.

Absolutely beautiful, Cascabel!
