A few pics of my first hiden tang attemp. Every knife I try to make, I get a new appreciation for you guys who make the beauties on here.
My pal Dave Ricke coached me through it, helped me when I was stuck ( a lot ,lol). Last years project was donated to St Judes, this might too.
Elk antler from my bud Hornhunter, micarta, nickel silver guard & buttcap.
I would do a few things different next time, Dave told me more contrast in the micarta, but I did not listen, oh well he was right.
I would make the plunge lines straight instead of angled, and the elk antler had a real crook in it, it could have been trimmed out & spacers added.
