    These aren't state of the art but I wanted to give it a try with what I had. I used an angle grinder for the roughing in and then switched to a regular bench grinder for the hollow grind. After HT hand /power sanding brought them around.

    The Kami has a tapered spine , file worked, and file worked brass liners under giraffe bone scales.
    The other has file worked spine , sculpted blade and satinwood scales.

    I've since bought a Beaumont 2 x72 and an Evenheat kiln. Hopefully I'll be able to turn out something a bit more respectable looking once I can find the time ,. But these do the job all the same.
