Title: Knife project
Post by: ---GUTSHOT---> on May 25, 2017, 07:13:36 pm

During the supply trade Osage Outlaw put on I received some cool gifts from Bryce. 1 being a Demascus knife blank and some African black wood. So with nothing much to do on some nasty evenings I decided to tackle it and see what I could do with it. The African Black wood was like working seasoned concrete. I picked up some 1/8" brass rod from Lowes to use as pins and 5 min epoxy to put it all together with. I stoned the edge in on the knife and it will shave your arm clean. I screwed up on the sheath but decided not to make another cause it's kinda growing on me. Thanks for looking.

I like that knife. It looks great. As for the sheath, I'd use those extra holes to put some sort of decorations on it if possible.

Good job on the knife.  Maybe some large head brass tacks cinched into the holes in the sheath for decoration would look nice!  Medicine beads on wire would also work, probably need a curved glover's needle to get them strung, though.
