Bespoke Knife Shape is Done

I started working on this last September (2019). Boy, I am glad I didn't finish last year. Quarantine sucks, but a good project makes it better.

The shaping took a lot of time. I have had plenty of that during the quarantine. The kit came with four files (1 rough wood file, and three fine wood/metal files). I was able to make a knife handle that fits my big hands. Most scales are very thin and I grab more of my own hand. The kit also included sand paper down to 600 grit to finish. I wish I would have had some stain on hand to put a proper dark tone to the handle, but I left it natural.

The leather sheath was wet formed to the knife and left in its natural color tone too.

Biscuits recipe

https://www.melissassouthernstylekitchen.com/fluffy-southern-buttermilk-biscuits/ Ingredients 3 cups all purpose flour 5 tsp baking powder 1 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter or vegetable shortening 1 – 1 1/4 cup cold buttermilk melted butter or heavy cream to brush the tops All liquids and butter/shortening should be straight from the refrigerator or on ice. Thoroughly mix dry ingredients prior to adding liquids by sifting and mixing. Don't over knead ingredients once the liquid is added to the dry ingredients. Doing so will make them tough by developing the gluten content.

Found on the Intrawebs

I wish I would have thought of this. It is so simple, yet next level. Why was 6 scared of 7? Because 7, 8, 9! That is an old math joke, but the next part makes it next level and completes the joke. But why did 7 eat 9? You must eat 3 squared meals a day.

Goodbye to an amazing Whisky
