My first thought was "an interesting shape, looks quite useful", my second thought was "it wouldn't be hard to make".

Members dikman Posted August 27, 2022 Members Report Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) goober, that's a full-tang design, you can't fit a stacked leather handle to it, as it's shown.

Members zuludog Posted August 27, 2022 Author Members Report Posted August 27, 2022 DIKMAN - you took the words out of my keyboard! That's a full tang blade; you would fit scales to each side. I think it would look good with pale wood like yew, hawthorn, cherry. Search YouTube for 'full tang knife handles' and you'll see the sort of thing Quote
Members goober Posted August 27, 2022 Members Report Posted August 27, 2022 i was more interested in the blade and overall size. I guess it wouldnt be humanly possible to make one with a slim tang to fit a stacked leather handle... good thing i didnt ask you fellas to make me one - seems like that would have been a chore.

Contributing Member fredk Posted August 28, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) You could, sort-of, do a stacked leather grip. Layers of different coloured leather laid on top of each other either side of the tang. Loads of glue and/or resin. Then carve the grip back and the coloured leather layers will show as laminations like ply woods A look like WW1 propellers Edited August 28, 2022 by fredk Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
