Helle sixpack Neckknives
« on: April 19, 2008, 07:59:00 AM »
Had this idea bouncing around in my head for a while!
Took about three months to build those 6   :D
Sure got better with my carving knive and rasp.

These are for my 5 best friends from School!
I'll hand them over tonight...hope parting with them won't be too hard   :rolleyes:

Thanks Guys!   :archer:

The Blade is called Odel, I guess it's the smallest one with a blade length around 2".

Wouldn't have the sheaths expected to raise so much attention.
I came up with them cause I wanted to save on leather and  to have a sheath that allows one hand removal.
They are fairly easy to make, but those wooden knobs can be a bit dangerous for your thumb when using a Dremel   :rolleyes:  
Hope those pictures help
 

 

 

I sealed the holes with a Wooddust-epoxy mix.

How are the knobs held in the sheath? Double ended?
