Acrylic blocks for a colourful handle
Got some photos this week from both Brett M and PJ Hunt, each took a piece of Icy Blue Acrylic and did something special with it.
PJ Hunt used it to make a great kitchen paring knife, a Japanese stainless steel damascus blade and the acrylic really stands out;
Brett used the same starting handle material but did something quite different. Going for a US style Fighter Bowie, the acrylic shows up the hidden tang for a bit of a steampunk twist;
Fun to see two well made knives using the same material and going in so different directions. Good work, guys!
