New to all this fun stuff
« on: July 17, 2009, 05:35:00 PM »
Hi all, I am new to the site and am super engulfed and addicted to the traditional ways of archery, and now it seems knife craft as well. I am looking to start a first knife and really want to put a Helle blank in a (my made) handle. I was wondering if there are any tips on how to construct the handle for the hidden tang on these blades. I am planning on making the handle out of Osage if I can find any good material, {possibly from the fellas at Dryad bows, I may get my blank there too!  ;) }. Anyway any advice from the many fine craftsmen here would be a greatly appreciated.
