heres my first attempt to make a knife also made the sheath with steves supervision thanks steve for the help bro. bought a knife blank and me and steve (voodoofire1) hartley set around in my living room and come up with this . whats everybody think of it it fits in your left hand like a glove . but in your right hand feels awkward . I like it cause I am a lefty . :bigsmyl:

looks good, differnt. loyd

I like it. Ya done great.<><
-
great looking blade.

Very nice. Looks like it needs to taste a little blood.

I can't see any pictures at work but am looking forward to checking it out at home. I have found an interesting thing about the antler handled knives I make. I will make one for me (Lefty) and it feels great. When someone else (Non-lefty) picks it up they remark on how great it feels in their hand. I have decided it is just something about antler handles that makes them feel like they were built for either hand. although I just finished a small knife with a small brow tine forming the integral guard that, at least to me, doesn't feel right in the right hand.

Heckuva first attempt! Keep at it.
-
That knife sure turned out good, but it looks much better in person than in the pics, great job Jeff, nice to work with someone so talented, glad I could be of help.................Steve

I like how the curve of the blade flows into the curve of the handle. Nice.
I notice the black on the end of the knife handle. Does that mean this is a curved full tang secured at the rear of the handle or is it a short tang glued and the black is a wrap? Either way it's pretty nice.

Nice looking knife man.
-
Very nice. :thumbsup:
-
Left Handed? :banghead: Rules me out of talking you out of it.. SWEEEEEEEEET JOB Jeff.
-
Nice!!
Don't use up all that bison though, :saywhat:
I still need to talk Steve outta some for a Helle, to match the armguard he made me.
I wonder if a left or right shed is what matters?
-
It has to match your fletchings. ;)

the black part is just paint i put it on there just to give it a little diffrent twist .this knife is epoxyed in the antler not got a nut on it on the end . thanks to everyone for the great comments i ordered 2 blades to make for the knife swap . Jeff

I'm planning on using it for the knife swap myself.
