Another knife build...
« on: February 02, 2012, 12:58:36 pm »
Received this "HELLE" blade quite awhile ago from a White Elephant Swap done on the Tradgang site.  I finally worked up the courage to try a knife build.  The handle is Zebra wood, leather & stainless steel washers for spacers and Whitetail antler as well...fun little project actually.  Off to build a sheath for her now.



Thanks for looking~

Very nice, Lee. Those Helle blades are sharp right out of the box, I have several.

Thanks guys, it was fun enough that until I get a forge built I may have to pick up a few more of their blanks...
