Stormcrow Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I had a fellow stop by my table at the last gun show who liked a couple of knives I had for sale, but wanted something between the two. I wrote down the details of what he wanted and his contact information and told him I'd get started on it Monday. A couple of weeks later, he picked it up, quite pleased with the outcome. Approximately 4" blade forged from 3/4" round 5160 bar, triple normalized, filed primary bevel, triple quenched, triple tempered, hemp cord main wrap, cotton cord two strand Turk's head knot, amber shellac sealer, shaving sharp.

joshua.M Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Nice, i like the handle wrap (and blade), how is it wrap done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormcrow Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 I lay one end of the cord along the bottom of the handle, starting at the front and going to the back, then wrap around and around until I cover the length of the handle. I tie a granny knot up front, then the Turk's head partially on top of the wrap and partly on the steel ahead of it. Then everything gets sealed in with shellac, making a composite material in situ.
