Handle isn't much to look at.
I started with too thick slabs. Peaked the pins.
Missed a couple times, didn't dent the wood.
I think Locust is harder than brass.
Ground away whatever felt bad. It feels real nice, but
it's not symmetrical. One side is a bit thicker now.
Also, there is too much space between the end of handle and beginning
of the edge. Learning.
Showed it to Mamma, she loves it! Peeled a potato to try it out,
before I even got an edge on. And it cut fairly well!
Sorry to bore anyone.
Apologize to our craftsman members.
This is crude, tool, process, skills.
Just thought it might interest anyone thinking of trying to do it.
May post pics of my daughter's when it's done.
Now, we need a better way to heat blades.
Trying to decide on building a forge, or a heat treat oven.
