    Some more historically inspired Highland cutlery with carved knotwork handles.

    Hello Everyone.

    I've been a bit of a carving addict lately.
    After having been intimidated by the idea of doing Celtic knot carving for years, (I thought it a hopelessly tedious, and difficult endeavor!) I per-chanced upon an old set of miniature wood carving tools in the garage, and figured it was a sign...
    Here is the first one. Some of you may have seen this is another thread unstained, and without any wear or distressing done yet. It almost looks like a different knife now!


    Here is the one I am working on currently. The blade still needs a little forging and refining, but other than that, this one should be ready to assemble and given it's final finish before long.


    This last one had such a nicely grained walnut handle that I thought too pretty to be hidden under carvings...So I left it as is. Eventually all these knives will have a wet-pressed center seam scabbard like this made for them.


    Comments and constructive criticism are always appreciated...
    Thanks for looking
    Iain
