April 20, 201313 yr I have been playing around with cord wrapped handles a bit. Here is my latest effort. The blade is forged from 1084 with a wrought iron guard and pommel. The handle is full tang built up with leather, wrapped in cotton cord with cotton ribbon on the outside. The whole handle is soaked in epoxy so it wont undo. The tang extends through the pommel and is hot pinned. I think there is an slag inclusion in the blade so I'm going to pound the tar out of this one and see how it holds up. My redneck take on knifemaking :)
April 20, 201313 yr looks like a solid camping/bush knife to me. Should provide you with some amusement if you are going to try and give it a rough time, looks like it would handle a bit of abuse.
April 22, 201313 yr Your knife looks outstanding. Its battle ready and anyone would be proud to own it. :wub:
April 22, 201313 yr Author The funny thing was I thought it would be butt ugly but I like the look now that its done. Thanks for the comments
