Come on Mike were still waiting

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

many of my knives from finland have really nice birch burl handles on them, then seem plenty strong enough to have quite a lot of leverage placed on them without any bother at all

 

seen a few handles like this and fine looking they are too:thumbup1:

 

Mike, cant you drill a taper into the handle rather than a splice?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Why not Deer Antler, Mike?

 

Very good suggestion,thanks!I will score some Reindeer Antler just to be a bit different.There is no shortage of that stuff here,just have to find the peice that "feels" right.

 

I'll post photo's when I'be finnished.

 

that is VERY cool!

 

must be the winner?

I ended up making the Handle from some Pine that my mates Barn was buildt from in the 1600's.

 

I made a guard from half a Brass Bush,then shortly after lost the Knife.

Cool thanks.I have a mate that makes all sorts of decorative things in Birch Burl,I'm just a fan of hard woods.

I think I'll co with the oak with a copper endcap and copper guard.

 

Birch IS hardwood, isnt it?
