That knife is awesome! Great job   :thumbsup:  

I'll send you some quills for your sheath if you want to add them.

I about have the second one ready for glue up. This one will go to my Bro Randy. He wanted his larger and oval in shape with some kind of plate between the handle and the blade. I found some neat horn in my overlay box and drilled a hole in it for the tang, then shaped it to match the handle.Still have to shorten the tang and put the grooves in it and glue it all together. This one is cut from the same piece of Mesquite mine is out of

Forester this is so easy a group of cub scouts could make good looking knives out of them. Chunk of wood, 1/4" hole a little deeper than the tang, shape the handle and glue it together.

Someone with real talent could make a fancy handle block from several pieces of wood cut on angles and glued together and make an awesome knife like the one in Shells avatar.

Or someone could find a piece of wood that grew that way, like Tippit did for Shells knife!  It is the most amazing piece of cocobolo I have seen - that blond piece isn't glued on - it's natural!

I like the antler idea, I have some mule deer antler a friend gave me that I could combine with the wood that would look good......stabow

Dang it Mickey! I can't keep up with all the projects I have going on right now, with making bows, arrows,strings,quivers, trying to learn how to knapp and wanting to do cane arrows. Now I gotta make a neck knife  :saywhat: . There is just no end to all the cool trad stuff to build!
 I don't know how you find the time but I'm glad you share these things with us. Thanks for another great build-along....Terry

BTW this one for Bro Randy

 

was made by mounting the blade in the position shown in this photo

 

and basically rounding off the corners. Super easy.

nice looking blades there Mickey.  I think one of those would fit rather nicely in an armguard sheath of sorts.

Here is one that I made from that style of blade.  Its not a neck knife but a buddy wanted one made and I figured this to be a good one for him.

Lat pic..finally finished. I ended up putting a matching horn butt plate on Bro Randy's knife and then put a couple black accent stripes on the seams to set if off. Got some more tru oil and each knife got 6 coats with light steel wooling between the coats. Baby butt smooth now.

 

Been a fun and easy project.

Nice lookin' knives Mickey. You did an excellent job as usual. That knapped head is really a nice touch to the sheath. Did you knap it? It is beautiful.
