Glad you went in and just thinned the sides out to get the bolster-handle joint down, there was a tiny rise around the pin section (which I wouldn't have cared about but the judge would) that also got reduced and tidied up the lines. I think from a process point of view, its often why I'd use a neutral material spacer- brass, g10, micarta etc, which tends to sort of blend the two materials together easier as well as a bit of a trick of the eye. Which doesn't necessarily hide a lot of sins, but you don't notice them as much :) Otherwise, its a classic looking knife which hopefully meets all the technical requirements

I have tried buffing non stabilized wood before and it came out trash, all the pores filled up with buffing compound, and overall stunk. How did you get this non stabilized Ironwood looking so good after buff? Ps. What buffing color do you use on wood?

@TyrellKnifeworks

2 жыл бұрын

Ironwood has extremely tiny pores and it’s one of the hardest wood species on the planet. Plus it’s very oily. It’s one of the few species that does not stabilize well because of this, nor does it need it. I’ve been successful buffing Pauduk and other species as well. Just use some acetone after the buffing compound (I use white) then use a clean wheel to shine it. 👍. Thanks for watching

How come you remove the tang and drill it separately when drilling the pin hole?

@TyrellKnifeworks

If you try to drill through the tang with it inserted, you sometimes flex the drill bit and affects the hole in the handle material and it widens it. By removing the tang and drilling separately, that doesn’t happen. Thanks for watching
