  4. chuck123wapati

  5. chuck123wapati

    Ive attached the pommels in different ways with screws or pins but i always replace that soft punk with good hard wood so it will hold. Its a tiger to get a through tang in some of the antlers with the bends in them without hogging out the whole antler. On full size knives i pin the tang also. Always trying to make them better. Thank you i really appreciate that!

    those are fine looking indeed!!
  8. chuck123wapati
    lol it would fit great in your back pocket and work great too for helping folks understand what your sayin.

    good question i drilled out the soft part of the antler and glued in a wooden plug then silver soldered a wood screw to the endcap and screwed it on.

    well thank you, on the tool i imagine it would this was actually my first time using it except for some practice and i got kind of lucky and the length of the stamping came out correct on the side so the pattern fit almost perfectly, across the top i could see it didn't fit so i just stopped after the hearts. i would love to say i planned that lol.

    those are awesome no criticism here . My suggestion is to make some different styles knives and sheathes or possibly just some other leather goods. How about trying an embossed leather sheath lol.
  17. chuck123wapati
    lol thanks.

    the brass is about half guard and half look's lol it does provide a comfortable grip in that corner for the finger while not getting in the way of cutting. i try to make things artistically pleasing as possible.

    Thanks Tug they are just for pretty i did them mainly for the practice and what the heck if your gonna make your self a knife then why not lol. The bolsters are Elk antler.

    probably bad heat treatment. I make most of my stuff from 1095 its a good knife steel.
  21. chuck123wapati
    it is so the two pieces dont or cant be pulled apart and create extra stress on your first stitch.
  22. chuck123wapati
    Thanks Sam i appreciate that.
  23. chuck123wapati
    Thanks, its even smaller than my patch knife lol. Thank you for the inspiration friend.
  24. chuck123wapati
    I dont know if the curved edge would be better or not i know mine will cut saddle in one pass coming or going lol and i do know that purdy polish helps. Did you look close at what 30 bucks buys you? basically about a 10 to 20 minute grind to about 400 grit and a quick heat treatment. didn't even polish off the carbon black. It would take some work to get one of those in respectable condition imo.
