My new osage handled knife
« on: April 01, 2007, 05:54:00 PM »
Thanks to my friend Aeronut who sent me the slabs,
I was able to "make" my first knife:
Internet bought birdseye damascus blade, osage handle and macassar ebony pins

 

Thanks Dennis  :)

Thanks David and Franck, next week when I'll have the handle oiled and the blade cleaned up I'll try to take better pictures.

I should have a good skinner/bird knife  :)

Nice job Manny!  Of all the different handle materials I've used on knives, I think osage is the best.  It just keeps getting better with age...Doc

Thanks Shell  :)

After a bit of research, I now need a piece of vegetable tanned leather to make the sheat.

If anyone knows where to find some here up North, just let me know
