davsgold Posted November 5, 2024 Author Share Posted November 5, 2024 I finished this one this morning, it's a smaller Kitchen/Chefs knife, blade length is 125mm (5"). I darkened the front piece of the handle wood upto the copper spacer. All finished with Bees Wax and Baby Oil 50/50 mix and warmed up so it flows and then polish off the excess. Go Mai construction, Blade is 1095 core, and then 0.1mm Nickel sheet each side and then Mild Steel cladding. Handle is Sandalwood and Copper spacer, any cracks or holes in the wood were filled with Superglue The Sandalwood was sent to my by James Beatty in prep for his Gold knife Go Mai with gold inplace of the Nickel or Copper 4 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/26764-what-do-you-guys-do-when-not-detecting/page/4/#findComment-283772 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Norvic Posted November 5, 2024 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2024 This off season what I`m doing is solving my water security problems in this remote dry FNQ location, no longer will I have to rely on the 2 low volume bores, fingers crossed that is. Putting that heavy stuff back into a big hole in the ground. Dreaming of a wet Xmas. 12 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/26764-what-do-you-guys-do-when-not-detecting/page/4/#findComment-283787 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top 100m of the creek (now submerged) just cut down the trees and left for fish/bait cover. Old fella project along with gold prospecting to keep mind/body active and healthy. 6 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/26764-what-do-you-guys-do-when-not-detecting/page/4/#findComment-287565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
