Stone Cold Knives....Finished pics 2nd Knife finished...

#1 Post by kimall » Sat Dec 01, 2012 1:19 pm

I have made a few knives over the last few years as some may know and almost from the beginning I wanted to put stone on the handles.It was going to have it's challenges sure but wanted to give it a go anyway.I have just finished the first proto type and love the results here's a couple of phone pics I will put some better ones up when it cools down enough to get outside.
Cheers KIM

Thanks guys sorry not to get back to you sooner.The handle scales are granit from a kitchen bench top and I cut and shaped with the trusty 4inch angle grinder.The finer polishing I do with a air grinder with some special pads I sourced from china.I had some concerns about this material like the weight and how brittle it might be so drilled out a lot of the steel behind the handle scales and left the blade thicker to keep the balance more like a normal knife.Overall I am very happy with the knife and also used a new material in the pouch getting some emu skin leather and just love the affect I got with that on the sheath.I dropped the knife when almost finished and it did not break so it may be stronger than I thought.Here area couple of pics of the sheath.
Cheers KIM

So some wanted to see a kitchen knife so here you go..:)
I am looking at mabey doing some to go with the stone bench tops the guy makes that I get the granite from.I really like working with granite this one uses hidden pins so I dont need to drill right through making it easier.
