ELK HANDLE KNIFE I JUST FINISHED .
« on: February 29, 2008, 12:10:00 AM »
Heres a knife i just finished for a fellow trad gang member Bob Beckey ( Bird ) is his gang handle on here we did some trading Bob hope you like it friend . this knife has a 3 3/4 carbon steel blade elk and osage handle I burnt the handle to give it some color . has timber rattler skin acroos the top and put some checkering where your index finger goes for grip. the knife looks better in person pic didnt turn out the best . now all I gotta do is make a sheath .

Jeff, you're starting to get pretty good as a knifemaker!  I like the snakeskin accent.
