welshwarrior Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) Ok so I fancy making another knife or more fitting a handle to one and making a sheath. I really like the Mora Clipper and it is my sort of go to knife for most things, got me thinking can I get a Mora Clipper blade or very similar that I can handle and make my own.

moor man Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hi Welshwarrior, some time ago I had the same idea, I cut the rubber handle off a clipper and made a new handle from a piece of yew.( Used to be a tree surgeon and stashed a few nice bits away), the pins i made from brake pipe with inserts of nickel pipe from model shop. You will need to inlet the knife tang into the handle or use a shaped spacer, if I can find it will post some pics, good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
