I have a good friend who's dad passed away this summer. Him and his brother asked me to make them 2 matching knives using a couple of his old files and then some of his deer antlers for the handles. I love projects like this! In addition to the files and antlers, I had them get me a couple of his old tshirts to make some micarta spacers from.
Here are the end results.
The 2 old files.
His old t-shirts now turned into micarta spacers.
Finished products.
I made each knife a display. The board on the left can be used to display a picture of their dad if they choose.
