Sorry the audio for the painting portion was horrible, so I nuked it.

Dunno what is up with the freeze switching from high speed to normal.

That looks like a hell of a way to trim facial hair.

I really like that pattern.  Was that the steel from the last video you posted?

Also, how thick is that tang?  

Looking forward to seeing the completed knife.

So this is what happens when the carreer as a Mime make-up artist is stopped by Beervirus.

I'd like one with a bird's-head style handle like Keatings for Xmas.

Last video was crosses IIRC, the cross material is the same material 15N20 and 1084, but the bowie is 150+ layers vs 48 or so on the crosses.

1/4" thick right now.

Thanks.

They really aren't my thing, as they tend to have issues in how they contact the fingers vs curved.  They do index VERY well.

But the customer asked for it.

I am taking some liberties with the swell.  Most were not full tang, and I won't make an 'art knife' with a hidden...it just feels wrong to me.

Cocabola.

Yes...all hardware will be steel.  The customer has requested a period look, so forgive me any minor pitting.

I don't think I will jimp this one...see above.

And yes, I know there was no period pattern-welded steel.  The customer is equally aware of this and...well...wants what he wants.

At this point I just hope I get the sheath right.
