Sam Salvati Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Here's a little knife I am working on as of tonight. Been wanting to incorporate bamboo as a handle and this is the prototype. As is I am thinking it's a nice, quick and cheap way to put together a knife, throw on a bit of a turk's head knot or something for a little fancier look. I am thinking this would be a nice steak set with all bamboo handles. Process went as simple as this: 1 forge, grind, ht, polish/sharpen blade 2 jam into bamboo LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksnagel Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Hey Sam, I like the handle idea a lot. Do you have to add a resin to the inside of the bamboo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Salvati Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 Thanks Mark. No I didn't it's a nice friction fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Nice blade shape too Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tagg Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 That's quite nice. I agree. Adding some type of string wrapping to a part of the handle (Like right where the bamboo ends and the blade tang sticks out) would look really nice.

HWooldridge Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I'd say that's a real "sharp finger"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
