Author Topic: New Knife that I made. (Read 706 times)

A friend of mine who is an avid waterfowl hunter, wanted a knife he could carry ala~neck knife, so it wouldn't interfere with his waders. I located the boning knife blade that he wanted and added an elk antler and bocote wood handle; the spacers are brass. The buttcap is water buffalo horn.

The sheath is bocote and wenge wood, with an elk antler spacer. The leather is oiltanned cowhide. It's a long knife, but it rides well under the arm pit. Has a nice traditional look.

JeffG, This knife would be great for that first cut around the deers butt hole. I think it could have other uses for areas you don't have a lot of space and you need some reach. Nice materials and finishing job. Buckfever

Jeff,
I like those Saamii/Puuko sheaths you do, 'bout as much as your knives. Both are first rate. Your friend must be well pleased.

Thanks for the kind words. He picked it up last night, and he was pretty excited!
