Neck/Patch Knife
« on: July 13, 2009, 05:43:00 PM »
Anybody have a neck knife?? I went to a shoot this past weekend and a couple folks were wearing them. I really like this style and have been looking around but found nothing I like. Where did you get yours from and post up some pics please!

I wear a Helle Nying as a neck knife;  Dryad Bows sells them....

They also sell Helle Blades, which you can turn in to your own "necker".  Check Huntworthy Productions for some really neat quilled neck sheaths.

Our little Ola-kniven is perfect for a neck knife.  You can get the blade and do your own or get the knife it total.

Rebecca Parker did the quill sheath.  There are only two Ladies I get a sheath from...Shell or Rebecca.  That is if you can convince them to make one  :)

Kevin, You gotta really boil out the fat on the bear bone...but it makes a great handle especially when you harvested the bone   :thumbsup:  tippit

Bear bone handle from three legged Stubby.

would putting dish soap in the boiling water help w/ the fat?  Also, do you have a reccomendation on the epoxy?

many thanks

Kevin

Doc, I must admit your work has improved a little but this is still very functional and sharp and one that I almost alway carry.  I would gladly trade you this one for a current Tippit blade though (and this one comes complete with a little mojo).     :bigsmyl:      :biglaugh:
