Curly87 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 had some spare time over the last week or so thought i would have a bash at making a knife, came in kit form so the knife tang, a block of wood, piece of antler and some leather turned out pretty well i think for my first go, not to sure about the shape of the handle but it feels good in the hand so thats all that matters so what do u think guys??

Fenlander Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Here is my First attempt,the handle is made from an off cut of a door sill,and a piece of brass bar which I got out of a large elecrict box, This is the second,with a handel made from Yew and Beech with an Aluminium bolster,all of which I had kicking around in the shed. sorry about the quality of the pics,all the best Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
