Braided Knife Handle

Recommended Posts

Here is a knife and sheath I finished recently the steel was Forged W2 and the handle is 1/16 of an inch natural and coffee dyed calf rawhide and the sheath is cow rawhide lined with buckskin studded with solid nickel spots and nickel silver conchos I made.

Oh just love the handle knot - is it an extended heel knot? have done a few for handle ends with 5 strings but never thought of extending the turns to 2 or 2 1/2 times round the mandrel - must have taken forever to tigthen it up.

Thanks for sharing

Very nice work!! The knot on the handle looks perfect. And I really like how ya use rawhide and buckskin together when you build your sheaths.

Thanks for sharing
