Title: Tried something a little different... Sheathed up..
Post by: just_a_hunter on August 04, 2015, 04:53:00 PM
I've made knives out of hoof rasp before but this is the first one I left the rasp part on the knife so aggressively.

It is going to get messy and lots of holes for gunk to hang up in but nothing a nylon dish brush can't solve.

I think it turned out pretty good. This was also the first knife I put a tapered tang in and I like how western/cowboy it looks.

It has lined water buffalo horn scales. Still deciding on what to sheath it with.

Got the sheath finished up. The owner wanted a ambi cross draw that matched his duty belt.
