I MADE A LH KNIFE
« on: March 09, 2007, 04:22:00 AM »
heres my first attempt to make a knife also made the sheath with steves supervision thanks steve for the help bro. bought a knife blank and me and steve (voodoofire1) hartley set around in my living room and come up with this . whats everybody think of it it fits in your left hand like a glove . but in your right hand feels awkward . I like it cause I am a lefty .    :bigsmyl:

I can't see any pictures at work but am looking forward to checking it out at home. I have found an interesting thing about the antler handled knives I make.  I will make one for me (Lefty) and it feels great.  When someone else (Non-lefty) picks it up they remark on how great it feels in their hand.  I have decided it is just something about antler handles that makes them feel like they were built for either hand.  although I just finished a small knife with a small brow tine forming the integral guard that, at least to me, doesn't feel right in the right hand.

I like how the curve of the blade flows into the curve of the handle. Nice.

I notice the black on the end of the knife handle. Does that mean this is a curved full tang secured at the rear of the handle or is it a short tang glued and the black is a wrap? Either way it's pretty nice.

Nice!!
Don't use up all that bison though,  :saywhat:  
I still need to talk Steve outta some for a Helle, to match the armguard he made me.
I wonder if a left or right shed is what matters?
