Title: New knife
Post by: Pat B on August 08, 2016, 06:18:32 pm

 I got a blade from Hickory Bill and added the handle scales. Thanks Bill. It is just what I was looking for.  I think this wood is zebra wood and I extended the handle a bit and filled the void with a small piece of ipe. Brass pins finish it off. I sealed the handle with 2 coats of superglue. Here are a few pics...

...oh, did I say it was gonna be a neck knife. I'll make the sheath and post pics then too. The penny shows the size.

Thanks guys but I did the easy part. Bill does make a nice blade. This is my second one. My last one I gave to Cody at the Classic 2 years ago just before he left on his bicycle tour of America.
I will post pics with the sheath when done.

This will be a neck knife so I wanted it small. It's about 4" t/t. I got some brain tan scraps from Nclonghunter a while back so I'll make the sheath from that.

That'd be a good name for that knife..."Penny For Your Thoughts".

Mighty nice, very useful.

pat the first knife I ever put together I also bought a blade from Bill. It turned out nice and I have made 3 others since then . I still have 8 others in different stages and am learning as I go but love the first one.

I made a neck sheath for my Hickory Bill neck knife. I used some scrap brain tanned leather someone sent me for another project. I think it came out nice...

The sheath and the knife, both complement eachother. Nice job!

Thanks guys.

I didn't like the way it looked with the brain tanned lacing so I opted for contrasting hemp cord stitching. I like the contrast of it.
 Since I was putting a sharp, steel knife in the sheath I used a rawhide liner to protect the brain tanned leather. I stitched the rawhide liner in when I stitched the sheath....
