Ocean Handle OC!

Sep 3, 2019 2:32 PM

I really liked the handle design on this tanto I made a little bit ago (https://imgur.com/gallery/5QmKobJ) so, I decided to do something very similar with the bit of material I had left ;)

I think I'm just as happy with how this one turned out. I'm also pretty convinced that I'm going to have to get ahold of a vacuum chamber so I can make my own resin blanks.

Here's a picture of a pretty knife (IMO) and a dirty hand. Idk what to tell you. It's impossible to keep them clean without wearing gloves while I make the knives and... just... no. =P

I went ahead and put a sharpening choil on this one. I'm not sure how I feel about those just yet. I don't like the look but, they do make sharpening easier. Maybe it's a necessary evil or, maybe I just need to get better at doing them so that they look better? Eh, I'll figure it out... eventually...

Some folks say I should take photos when it's overcast and some say in full sun. Here it is in the sun. You can definitely see the handle better. Hopefully, this makes everyone happy?

Weird angle but, you can see that I used that same green G10 between the handle and the tang. Just another nice little detail. ;) Anyway, thanks for checking it out and, as always, if you have questions, just let me know; I'm always happy to pass along anything I've figured out along the way. Thanks!

Thank you very much! I still need to make the sheath but, if you're interested, shoot me a private message and we can talk about it ;)
