Yew Enzo Necker

[chimpy leon]

Ive had my enzo necker blank for a few months now and thought it was about time to crack on. I cut the scales from a piece of yew and are held with corby bolts, epoxy resin and a lanyard tube.
The end result:








Thanks,
Leon

If a valid entry (think there may be a materials cost ceiling) you should enter it in the 2013 knife making comp. I keep coming back to it with envious eyes. That bit of yew is covetable.

Nah it's rubbish

Kidding in a big way. The use of heart and sap wood is stunning. Great job fella :You_Rock_

Thanks very much for the comments folks.

It is my second fulltang knife (first was my curly birch enzo trapper). I had the chunk of yew (seen in the background) that been sitting in the mrs's shed for the last 18 months from a tree job. I wanted to test yew on something small, as Ive heard of people feeling unwell from working with it.

It takes a very nice finish after oiling and polishing though.

Love the way that the grain flows with the shape of the handle. Beautiful work.

That definitely needs to be in the competition if it comes within the rules - a great bit of design and workmanship, a thing of real beauty.....................atb mac

Very tasty.
Like how the yew changes colour there. Simple and smooth design.
