This one is 1084 with wrought Iron finger guard and Osage handle. Lin gave me the wrought iron over a year ago, i etched it for 1 hour, 600 grit finsh

This was going to be a test knife, but i could not bring my self to break it, i did do the brass rob test, every thing went fine.
the picturs are not very good.
hope you like it

Thanks for looking
dana

That sure looks nice! Looks like a very useful design. How did you finish the osage? Dan

Very nice Dana! I love the blade profile, and the look of the wrought. I etched a guard for 1 hour and came out like yours. I like the look.

Dana, a question for you, is that a check in the handle of your osage handle?

I found an old live osage tree and some of the lower branches were dead and I sawed several of the dead branches off, they had fairly deep checks. I'm thinking I may use the branches as knife handles and chasing it down to one growth ring as you would on the back of a selfbow. Do you think I could saturate the check with super glue and it would hold? I know there are alot of variables involved! What do you think Bro!

Steve
that mark one my knife is just a dark line on the wood, it's not cracked or checked, there is another one at the very back of the handle
I think if the wood is not pulpy in any way you should be able to glue it, it's worth a try.
if the tree has rings like that branch does I think I would cut the tree down and make a bow too.
Let me know if it works out

Steve & Dana if you guys want some (hedge or Osage) thats what we call it in Mo. I have couple hundred maybe more old fence post to cut up.probally several thousand knife handles LOL

DANA HOLMAN · « **Reply #19 on:** February 07, 2011, 01:20:00 PM »

Kevin, thanks for the offer, but with my brother making bows, I get all I can use, now Steve may need some.
You know that those Osage post will out last those T post
