One of my Knives, & Case

[BearMan]

Hi All,

Here is a knife I made a while back with the case I made for it. The knife was made out of an old Army combat knife. Lots of shaping & filing, & polishing! The case has lizard skin with an Abalony inlay. The knfe handle in Cocobolo, with brass guards, & hilt. What Ya think???

Bearman,

Nice looking knife and sheath. That must have been one old combat knife since all the ones they issued while I was in had composite handles. What did you use on the handle to bring out the grain?

I'm pretty sure he just recycled the blade (with a ton of grinding and filing). The handle, fittings, etc. are all his work, I'd imagine.

Hi Bill,

The handle is just polished, no stain or finish of any kind. Just lots of polishing. Yes, it was a pretty old knife that I found at a yard sale, all rusty without any handle,,,, but I saw potential!!
