inspired by Hags a kneck knife

[chuck123wapati]

I have scraps from knife making also. Hags got me thinking about how to use them also. So i made this kneck nife , kneck knife, neck nife lol. Fun weekend project. 4 oz , bison brown, French twist stitch.  the knife 2" blade 41/2" approx overall with Deer antler . Hammered brass pommel because the piece of brass was to small lol. What was so interesting is i got to try a few new things both in knife making and leather without having to worry about the outcome, after all they are just scraps right.

That’s nice Chuck. I like a good sharp finger style.  I make some killa blades as well. That’s how my leather working began. 
not so much anymore tho I have been thinking about making my leather knives , knifes, bides,  lol.

Thanks its a piece of off cut 1095 from other projects. That piece of brass is out of a prison lock ironically called a blade also, I salvaged a few or  them when they wore out and had to be replaced i have one left lol.

Thank you.

Those are "killa" for sure beautiful work you defenetly need to put that knowledge  into some leather tools much more satisfying than buying the crap they sell nowadays.

Chuck, what is your web site where you sell your knifes ? if you do not want to post it you can message me. Like the antler handles.

Until the "scrap" goes into the trash, it is still something waiting to be made.  Beautiful work @chuck123wapati!!  I am gonna stick to leather for now. Have not dipped my toe into the forging of knives yet.  Maybe I can talk you into sending some of that metal scrap (after you have done your magic on it) down this way. LOL.

Very nice indeed! Like the way the hearts came out on the corners. Does that tool make that all the time on corners?

Again nice work Chuck!

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. 

[DaveP]

Well, that was good luck and turned out great!

 

Question...What's holding the end cap on the knife? Doesn't look like a through tang.

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.

[DaveP]

That's a great idea! Probably use that method one day!
