October 29, 200817 yr Well everyone else is doing it so here goes... The boys were wanting to make a knife for my brother for Christmas so this is what we came up with. ~8'' long 5160 and roughed up a bit for that forged / old iron / antique look. Handel made from nylon wrapped 2x and then polished using a buffing wheel and julers rouge until the nylon started to harden real well, kinda has a plastic handle feel but the rope doesn't move any. Anyone have any idea what you would call this type of knife, except homemade, I have that part already? The pictures are with my hat because the colors came out the same and I thought it fit the style. :rolleyes:
October 29, 200817 yr Nice shaping Nate. And even nicer hat Are you gonna make a nice sheath or scabbard to go? Like leather or something. Would look real nice if it was the same as the hat.. But don't use the hat!!
October 29, 200817 yr Author No way I'm going to use the hat, I am looking for some leather like it though.
November 1, 200817 yr Author Thanks for the comments! I do hunt, but the knife will be a Christmas present for my lil brother should make a good hunting knife though. I was going for a ''barbaric'' / old Indian knife look and those who have seen it suggest that it looks like one of those two so I guess I have gotten my 'point' across ;)
