highlander Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) Finally finished it. Handle is high grade epoxy putty with a thick outer coating of urethane spray to insulate the knife from electric shock. These type knives are used by us electricians for various things, and I wanted to make a larger one that fits in my hand properly. OAL is about 8 inches and was made out of automotive coil spring.

CurlyGeorge Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Highlander, you're not gonna beleive this. But the guy that gave me the 150 pound Trenton and the 5 inch leg vice and the 16 pound cross pein sledge, wants me to make two of them for him. That is ALL that he wants in trade for all of that. I'll let you know how they turn out. Thanks for the post and the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
