Thread: Knife projects – Handles/restoration

Hey Raging Bull,
Good idea getting a knife blank made up. How much will that set you back? I'm getting my old man to cut me a couple of templates out of some hard 3mm plate to have a crack on. I'll probably balls it up so might be better if I can design my own knife and get someone else to make the steel.

Just a question about the leather you mention, does that go in between the antler handle and the blank? You have to pin that all together? That solves the problem I was thinking of of trying to get the handle timber and the steel to match perfectly in flatness. [EDIT] Just read you're going to use perspex instead of leather.

Very keen to see how this turns out. Keep us posted.
