Brad L Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 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 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolish Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
