Coyote Jaw for a handle
« on: February 09, 2010, 10:10:00 AM »
Would a coyote lower jaw bone work for a handle on a smaller knife?  I have the skull of the first one I trapped and would like to do something with it.  If it will work, what blade should I use?  Also any pictures of ones so I can see what they look like?

I really dont know,to be honest-But usually depending on what you want there is a way to do it.If the bone is too thin,You may have to think outside the box.And if it can't be done-I guess you'll have the only one like it.
 Sounds like a fun project

Well,I think Skullworks just answered the question of If it could be done.They dont look verry comfortable to use,but look really cool.

It would be a knife to have for the show case is what I am thinking.

It can be done. But you will need to glue the teeth in so that they don't fall out (they will come lose over time).
