Thread: On the tip of my tongue,,, R...Re...Aargh!

Wow... you have me wanting to go out to the shop and start grinding stuff... Those are both beautiful.. But I do wish Kamisaurus Rex ended up as a non folding.. Those were awesome sketches.

The sketches were made, they were the first one you saw or the next one I did

Here is the another look at different people's ideas

Exact same razor in that thread just two different approaches

Crazy nice work...

So when you do the Kamisori style you split the handle to capture the resized tang, and then use a filler and adhesive to bond the two sides back together?

If yes, how do you avoid a mis-matched seam where the halves come together? Or are they book-matched?

I absolutely love the kamisori style designs. I think I am drooling just a bit..

They are one piece, that was hollowed out then fit to the tang, some I have pinned others I have not.. Matching the pinhole is always a fun adventure hehehe

The "Trick" is in the sanding on the outside of the hollow portion, making sure you don't go too thin, and wreck all your work

Now that sounds like experience talking there...

"On the tip of my tongue,,, R...Re...Aargh!"
Reminds me of "Talk like a Pirate day".

You drill it out before you shape the contours, yes?

Do you enlarge the pin hole in the tang to give yourself room for error on the drilling?

Any pictures of your shop?
