New bread slicer

[res308]

My buddy sent me this picture today. He's taken his time and has been forging this one for a little while. Made this one for himself.

He told me it's now ready for me to make a suit of clothes for it. I told him that with a body like that, it might be happier living life as a streaker!

Guess I'll start drawing on a sheath sometime today.

Looks like a little skrimshaw action going on there. Nice!

I reckon this'll be my next project. He made himself a scabbard from walnut. Now I have to figure out how to wrap leather around the front, leave the diamond shaped cut out, leave exposed walnut top and bottom, wrap it around to the back, and bring that up into a belt loop. Don't know how the dickens I'm gonna do it, but I'm gonna do it. After that he'll put the finish to the walnut.

Cool knife.  Your buddy does very nice work.

I saw this same style of knife made on "Forged in Fire", but don't think any of the finished blades looked that good.
