Steampunk...ish

I finished my latest pair of Outdoor knives. One large, one small. A little head nod, a homage, if you will, to all things steampunk.

If you mention steampunk, three things come to my mind: copper, steel, and mahogany. All three are here! Mahogany scales, copper liners, copper nuts, A2 blade. I had to make the copper Loveless nuts because you can't purchase them anywhere. A little extra work, but well worth it.

Bottom view of the handles. I think it is a nice, subtle contrast.

I could have gotten more done today. Truth be told, I hate using my injuries as an excuse...but I had a hard time walking. My right ankle, the one shattered in my wreck a couple of years ago, was killing me. It was hard to walk or stand. Stairs? Ouch!!! Could be the cold, could be hitting the gym too hard. Could just be a fact of life. Whatever it is...I hope it isn't all that often!
