It's just a old TV. I was on a roll for awhile. Then I broke everything I touched for awhile. Slowed down on this one. Glad I didn't break it yet. I think I know just what kinda handle I'm going to make.

Zuma:
That's what I would call knapping up an Ice Storm.
My guess, a Christmas tree wood handle, covered in ermine fur.
Because snow shoe rabbit fur is not tough enough and Arctic fox
fur is too long and might shed way down in Michigan.

It's 58 degrees down here on the island

bjrogg:
It's been hanging right around zero here. I'd love to get a arctic fox hide Zuma. Now you got me completely rethinking my handle.

Hawkdancer:
Nice blade!  Ermine would make a nice handle cover, complement the blue very well!  Btw, what is the safest, least messy way to salvage a tv or computer screen?  Thanks
Hawkdancer

bjrogg:
Thanks Hawkdancer, you guys got me second guessing my handle now. I agree the ermine would look good. Hawkdancer the easiest least messy way is  when someone just brings me the glass in a five gallon bucket.lol. Otherwise the ones I got were in a junk trailer headed for their final resting grounds. Might be better ways but I just took a ball pien hammer and made a couple strategic taps. I then collect the pieces lightly abrade them so their not so sharp and wash them off really good. I'm pretty sure nothing inside that picture tube is good for you.
