Yet Another Knife Handle Making Project

I guess I'm getting addicted to making knife handles but in this project I made a matching ferro rod handle as well.


The blade is of unknown steel from a fishing knife I bought from Amazon for $2. I cut the blade to 2 1/2" length, modified its shape and re profiled it to convex grind. The knife is inspired by the knife of Otzi, The Iceman.


The knife and ferro rod ready for staining and oiling.


Voila, comes out nice isn't it.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.

Another Knife Handle Making Project

I was very satisfied with the outcome of my previous knife handle making project that I decided to do another one. This time using a smaller knife blade.


The blade is 2 1/2" 1095 steel with convex grind.


The handle is done and the blade already expoxied. All it needs is a lanyard hole and it will be ready for staining and oiling.


The finished handle already stained and oiled, with a jute twine for a lanyard, shown with the Izula for size reference.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
