Awrksmokey Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Are the handle proportions of this off? On puukkos, it's hard for me to tell... Knife blade is some high chromium steel, not sure exactly, a thin brass piece, and a spalted kind of wood that was scrap. I probably shouldn't have polished it so much if I'm going to be working on it. I'm also planning on putting a pin through it. Criticism? Comments? Handle advice?

templehound Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 ....but it is only a single picture.... Hard to say with one dimensional view.....how about a second pic from above? as far as I can see, the shape is quite ok, just a bit too fat around the heft without enough swelling to a typical barrel grip. But it is in Your eyes... The sluggish grip form of a puukoo is not easy to make.I have to make it exactly square, bevel that square to 8 and then to 16 and round it. I am working very slowly always aware not loosing my touch to the form. (Besides.....In my opinion putting a pin through a hidden tang is contra productive(weakens the tang), unnecessary (modern epoxy glues will hold for centuries) waste of pin stock, time and tools and the bright spot adding to the looks of the wood ist in the eye of the beholder.)

Latticino Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Square/Octagon/Round - it's not just for tapers in steel... Very nice walkthru of your handle shaping technique, much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
