New Ball Grip Belt Knife
« on: June 28, 2011, 04:22:19 PM »
Not a new design, but very nice curly maple on it. 9 1/2" blade of 01 steel. A tad under 3/16" where the tapers begin. Lightly aged, iron pins, wood has a gunstock oil finish. A very light weight knife for it's size.

Yeah, I agree Pathfinder. It's got now that I only ask my wife what she thinks of my work. (And she always smiles sweetly and says "That's real nice Honey." )

Now where is my garden spade?

Very nice! That is a beautiful piece of wood. Is that by chance a true oil finish, or your own mixture?

It is Minwax Antique Oil finish. Comes in a pint red can. I got turned on to it by the guy that built my rifle. I don't like it for gun stocks, because it is fast setting, and I don't have the patience to work with it, but I love it for smaller things like grips. You wipe it on, I use my finger, and I lightly spread and work it. In a just few minutes you feel it start to thicken. Then using a paper towel, I immediately wipe it off. One coat per day. 3 to 4 coats done that way finishes it. That knife got 4 coats. It is pretty thin stuff and soaks in good. As durable as any similar linseed based finish, but less hassle, and almost fool proof for smaller items.

Thank you for the tip Wick! I will have to try some of that on a set of scales soon.
