rawcustom Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 Simple hunting knife and pouch sheath, but the first of the year so thought I would post. Quote
Members stu925 Posted January 12, 2015 Members Report Posted January 12, 2015 I like both of them a lot. I presume you made the knife also? Sambar stag on the handle or maybe elk antler or maybe something else entirely? Beautiful work on both. Stu Quote
rawcustom Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Posted January 12, 2015 Thanks Stu. Yes the handle is elk antler from an unfortunate Montana bull. Quote
Members Dave Richardson Posted January 12, 2015 Members Report Posted January 12, 2015 Nice rig. Love elk horn for handles. Dave Quote

Members Rohn Posted January 13, 2015 Members Report Posted January 13, 2015 Beautiful knife and sheath. Quote
rawcustom Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Posted January 13, 2015 Thanks everyone. I've been learning a lot about dying over the last year. This forum has been great for picking up advice. I'm finding myself partial to pretreat with oil, then dry sponge the dye on diluted as need be with alcohol. I also found an interesting effect if you mix the spirit dye before hand with a small amount of oil, so the experiments continue. Quote
