New knife just completed for co-worker

[wolfshieldrx]

...or more precisely, for her boyfriend.



Blade forged from tire tool. The blade has a rat tail tang that extends half-way throuhg the handle. It is epoxied in place and pinned with two copper pins. The leather sheath has copper rivets and is hand-stitched using waxed linen thread. No power tools were used in the making of this knife...from forging to filing to drilling rivet holes to final honing of the blade. Thanks for looking...bart

I like that no power tools were used, did you use a post-drill or a brace and bit? I use a brace and bit for most of my drilling, kinda slow but gets the work done.
