I tried something a little different
« on: December 05, 2008, 07:45:00 PM »
I bought this knife blank and tried something a little different on it. I made the finger guard out of three pieces of brass with black phenolic spacers. This is the second handle I made for it because I completely ruined the antler I had on it at  first. The handle is curley maple that I dyed with india ink then brown wood stain. I made the pins myself. The cutting edge is 4" and the overall length is 9". Whaddya think? Mike
