new little trapper

Post by damon »

Here is a small 2 blade trapper with damascus blades, brass rivets for pulls, stainless bolsters, and mammoth ivory handles.
A touch of file work dresses up the blades a bit, and signature inside on one of the backsprings.

blades: 2 1/2"
closed 3 1/2"
OAL: 6"

thanks for looking.

*in french accent
TILL ITS DONE.

I honestly don't know ::shrug:: ..... if working on nothing else.... nonstop.... im sure i could finish one in 2-3 days.

I think im going to have to keep a stop watch on my work bench just for the sake of having an honest answer for this. the time taken to complete any given project is the most asked question about every knife ive made in the lase 3 years. how long it takes me to make one is not the same as it would take another maker to make the same/similar knife. want to know how ling it takes.... make one. I don't say this to me rude, or a smart ass, (even though ive been known to be one) but because as makers I believe in challenging oneself as a craftsman. want details on the steps or processes I use? ill freely share them.

was set up at a show this weekend.... 8 out of 10 people looking at my knives asked that very question.

Not sure what you are referring to.

Damon, I mean how the tang of the knife sits below the frame when closed. I like that knife a lot.
