Steampunk neck knife

 This is the first complete knife since getting the new toy . I have tried a few new (to me) ideas and materials . The bevels were ground to 400 grit and then polished . The scale has been left on the flat parts of the blade

the handle scales are made up of some copper pipe and vulcanised fiber liners , glued together and then pinned with brass pins 

I might give it a soak in a cup of coffee to age it a bit and give the blade a bit of a patina 

  

A new toy

 I received my new grinder last weekend . It was built by 'Aly' (a British blades forum member)
It uses 1050 x 50 belts and has a 1.5 Hp motor














Here are the first 3 blades

this is just a picture of  the large blade with a 400 grit belt finish. I should be putting some handles on these this week
