Knife Project

[megabit]

I started with an Old Hickory Boning knife like this:

I did some modification and made new wood scales:

Then I braided over the scales and added a lanyard:

I tried rust bluing the blade but I must not have it clean enough and it pitted it and didn't rust other parts. Sort of interesting but not really what I was going for. ;D This was my first attempt at knife making, or modification if you will. Next up I need to make a sheath for it.
