Current knife project

(1/2) > >>

Bryce:
Got everything quenched and sanded at this point. Undecided about the handle shape... might do more of a fawns foot style with Blackwood or sheep horn idk.
Was a brand new file but all I saw was a knife. Softened in the forge, filed and ground down. Lots of hand sanding. I bailed on a differential heat treat and etch bc I was too lazy to make up some coal/clay insulation or even go to the store for refectory cement 😆 lol
But the blades hard and I could really use some ideas for the handle!
 Please? And Thanks you!

Bryce

GlisGlis:
go for sturgeon or fish skin  :OK
nice blade!  isn't the file part still too new and not flattened?
it will collect dirt and could be difficult to clean

bubby:
Looking good Bryce, i like your ideas on the handle with blackwood, with maybe a white and red liner that would pop

Hawkdancer:
Purple Heart would look good with a black liner, too.  Nice blade!

I'm a fan of osage scales.  Let me know if you ever need some for knife handles.
