8 knives for a wedding
« on: September 02, 2008, 09:00:00 AM »
Here are 8 knives I did for a buddy of mine for gifts for himself and the groomsmen. They are all Frosts Stainless blades in Whitetail antler. The antlers were varying colors so I dyed them by boiling them in tea(thanks for the idea Bernie!) which gave them the same overall color. Then I sanded the end caps to make the deer print stand out better. Sheaths are hand made. The number on the blades are to keep them matched with the sheaths. LOL!

Very nice work.   I like the grain color in the leather.

How do you make the deer print in the knife handles?  Do you hand carve/file,  dremmel or some other method?

Got the streaking pattern in the sheaths idea from Rob Tattoo. Yep...dremmel tool to do the prints.
