Nice job on that one, Brian!
I seem to prefer the style without bolsters, I think they look more utilitarian. Did you do that sheath as well??
-
Yes Sir I do all of my own leather work as Well, It is hand stitched and wax hardened...
-
Very very nice. Does the holster have a way to attach to the belt as well?

I finished two more knives today...

More goodness from Thunder Forge!

like we expect less of craftsman work from you bob w.

Lookin good Brian!!
I never head of curupay, is it hard?
I like the lines, your forged bevels are really getting crisp, and the sheath is dynamite.
The little drop point is pip too. I never used parachute cord for a handle, is it easy to wrap? And odes it squirm around in use? I have just never been around it.

Curupay is a Latin American Wood and it is quite hard. After I forge out the blade, I take a mill bastard file and use it like a draw knife to dress out the blade. Then I use a fine tooth file and dead smooth file to remove the mill file marks. The para cord is easy to use, but it helps to put down a coating of contact cement and let it tack before you wrap the handle. Out in the field, the para cord can be taken off and used in an emergency.

Once again more great work.
You should consider setting up a booth at the fair or flea market or something and selling some. If I had a few extra bucks Ide deffintily buy them.
-
I love the look of the little one with the cord wrapped handle. Definitely would buy one like that!
-
Finished another one today...
-
The Curupay handled knife is now in its new home in Texas! After a slight misdirection, it showed up at my house today!
-
Hope you like it...
-
Another new one...

Another Beauty Brian! I'm curious as to how the handle is fastened to this one? Or is that a trade secret? Lol ! Also, I assume you make your own scabbards as well, is that correct?
Excellent Work, as Usual!
