Corneta Wotan mod - Tactical brute to Civilized Beaut

10/21/2014

I had recently seen a picture of Peter Hammer's last Wotan build. It was a high polish blade with a wood handle. I have requested he allow me to use it and I will post here if he does.

What I did so far was remove the Kraton handle and media blast the coating off the knife. After which I did run it under a wire wheel.

Before and after blasting:

I kinda like this "Satin" finish, but I will probably change my mind later.

Now to figure out a handle. That is a Huge hidden tang to cover up, 4-1/4" total length, 1/4 x 5/8 stock.

Any ideas?

Here is Peter Hammer's last Custom Wotan. I do not know the species of wood, but I would guess Cocobolo.

Oh my goodness! Has it been 3-1/2 months? So sorry, but once again I have been preoccupied with regular work.

But, I think I recall there being an small issue that sent me off into fit. I will address progress tomorrow morning for an update.

So busy, no time to address any of these yet. Saturdays are now filled with 8 y/o daughter's soccer games. I'm not missing one game. She has got better with each weekend.
