I really like your work. I think those handles look more like quilting than basketweave. I've seen wedding cakes made in the same style. Like this:

Your creativity is obvious, and I salute your technical skills as well.

I wish the folks who had this cake had your knives to cut it with!

[Bluescelt]

I can see why you thought that it looked quilted. If I could have got a closer shot it would show the over and under. I couldn't cut too much deeper or I would break through to the porous area.

High praise indeed, akin to Barb or Matt telling you well done on a kilt.

[Bluescelt]

Rab,
I checked out your site and will definately contact you for blades and components on future projects. Beautiful craftsmanship on your items.

I likey! What did you use to carve the basket weave? Where did you get the brass bolster?

[Tartan Shortbread Jock]

Great set, your workmanship is just out of this world.

[Bluescelt]

I used a dremel with a cone point bit and the brass bolster was from atlanta cutlery as I remember. I ground it flush with the oak piece and polished it to a luster. It's got a nice patina now after a few years at the Highland Games.
