Third Knife and Sheath
This is my third home made knife. The blade is the one I bought from Inspector 71, it is a laminated blade with forge finish by Bjarne Rasmussen.
I'm not sure what kind of wood the handle is made from. It is very dense, I'm guessing it could be lignum but am happy to be corrected on that.
I'm really pleased with how the sheath turned out - the stitching is my best effort yet and looks good from both sides.
All constructive criticism gratefully received!

Re: Third Knife and Sheath
Magnus I think you could be right. The wood had a very distinctive smell as I planed and sanded it.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

Re: Third Knife and Sheath
well done, i was wondering about the blade fit too!, it does look like you've split the handle to fit the blade then glued it back together..

Re: Third Knife and Sheath
I think it's a morticed tang, there's a tutorial on how to do it somewhere......

Re: Third Knife and Sheath
Yes, I lost patience with the other method of drilling out a solid block. This time I split the block in two and then used a router to fit the blade. Then I glued it all up with epoxy. Originally Posted by luresalive
