woodsman1031:
Both of those look great!

What kind of wood did you use on that handle Sailordad?

Is that a whitetail antler DanaM?

sailordad:
its called lepoard wood, an exotic species from the rain forest is what i was told atthe lumber yard.

all i know is that it is hard as nails,gives ya one hell of a cough if you dont wear a particale mask when working it. i learned the hard way
i still have some so i will probably use it for tip overlays,maybe another knife or two who knows

it was only the second knife i made. he first one i kept it was a prototype you could say. i used it to figure out what the heck i was doing.
enjoy and i hope you dont cut yourself,i think its got a decent edge to it.

yeah it's pretty sharp, did you heat-treat the thing?  I really like the wood of the handle...

i think i'll keep it, and figure out a way to make something for the other 2 guys...
