A couple os my first attempts

The first is a 5/8 Wade&Butcher hollow ground. I did not remove ALL the pitting on one side as this would have removed the makers mark. The scales are South Queensland Wallnut with a wedge of Lapis Lasulai.

The second one is a Shell mark Hammer Forged from Solingen (marked with 3083 Made in Germany on the reverse side of the tang. The scales are (what I was told is ) blond mallee with a lapis lazulai wedge again.

Critques welcome!

they are both beautiful, is that a ca finish how did you do it

Yep, it's CA, just spread it on thin with a surgical glove, sand smooth, repete untill the coating is thick enough and then work your way up through the grits.

At 3000 grit I move to Autosol polish then Brasso for that final gleam.

Nice stuff, Lancer. I really like the look of the lapis wedges. How do you cut/shape/sand the stone?

-whatever

Use diamond cutting/grinding attachments on the dremel then wet/dry sand paper to 3000 grit.
