作業中の数本 - Few blades in progress

First, little bit of shout out.

Ｓome time ago, I have posted the tagged 3 favorite items, then passed the tag on to Hiking in Finland. Now, he has posted his 3 favorite items on latest up date, so if you have not checked it yet, please take a look!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

　一本は道具で実は完成してます。これ・・シースを彫るためのノミ。

Actually the first one is completed. this one, a chisel for hollowing sheathe.

浸油前 - before oiling

　彫刻刀くらいのサイズで首を曲げてあります。道具だから作りこまず。柄も適当な材を・・・と思っていたのですが、割ってみないと木は分からない物ですね。切り出してから見事な縮れ樺だと判明。

It is a small one and has a bent neck. I was not planing on making it look nice, so just picked up a wood from fire wood pile. when I cut it open to make handle, it revealed it's beauty. Was a good curly birch...

軽くオイルを塗ってみた - wipe oil on it.

一晩オイル漬け後 - soaked in oil over night.

　二本目と三本目はこちら。
　Second and third ones are these.

　柄だけ写ってるのが二本目、ツイッターで昨年から進行を呟いてる一本、剣鉈風３フィンガー。黒い方は初の薄物。刻印ではなく銘切りタガネを初使用してみました。この二本は色々と失敗がありますので適当に仕上げて自分用とします。
　One only showing handle is the ken-nata style 3 finger, which I have been tweeting the progress since last year. The black one next to it is my first thin "blade". instead of stamp, I have chiseled the marking... well I tried... These 2 have had bit of production mistake, so will be for my own use.




　四本めはこれ、やはり３フィンガーです。こちらはＥＤＣかＰＳＫのコンセプトで作ってます。
　4th blade is this one, also 3 finger knife and designed for EDC or PSK.

　この一本は打ち収めで打ち、今年に入ってから焼入れ研ぎ出し終わり、昨夜シース作りに入ってます。
　This was forged end of last year. Heat treated and sharpened, now only sheath needed.


　そして５本目は、だいぶ前から作ってる３フィンガープーッコ。パーツはほぼ全て完成している物の、シースのレザーを傷つけずに取り付ける上手い方法が浮かばず凍結状態です。
　And the fifth one is the 3 finger puukko I have bee working on it for quite some time. it actually have not progressed much because I can not figure out how to set all the parts together without damaging the leather on sheath.
