Just finished a Hawkbill

Post by #goldpan »

Just finished putting this one together. The parts were purchased from Muskrat Man. This is the second one that I have put together. It has the factory walnut grips. I think it turned out nice. I still need to put some tung oil on it to give a shine. The finish you see is from the sanding and buffing. Need to put an edge on it to. 8)

I have enough parts to make four more of these! ::tu:: This stuff is getting addicting! I thought that accumulating was bad! This could be worse...... ::nod:

Hey thanks guys!
Phil, she snaps like a trap! Gotta keep the fingers out of the way! I haven't put an edge on it yet, but the point is needle sharp. Ouch!
