Anybody have a neck knife?? I went to a shoot this past weekend and a couple folks were wearing them. I really like this style and have been looking around but found nothing I like. Where did you get yours from and post up some pics please!

I wear a Helle Nying as a neck knife; Dryad Bows sells them....
They also sell Helle Blades, which you can turn in to your own "necker". Check Huntworthy Productions for some really neat quilled neck sheaths.
:readit: :thumbsup:
Our little Ola-kniven is perfect for a neck knife. You can get the blade and do your own or get the knife it total.

I'll take the top one Doc :bigsmyl:
Jeff, who did the sheath on the bottom knife?
Rebecca Parker did the quill sheath. There are only two Ladies I get a sheath from...Shell or Rebecca. That is if you can convince them to make one :)
I bought one of Rebecca's myself; got a piece of bear bone that will make a handle... :D
Frank, I will be at Ojibiwa this weekend! Thank you for the generous offer, very kind of you! Are you going to have a table somewhere??? I'll come find you. I'll be there Friday morning until late in the evening.
Thanks again!

Kevin, You gotta really boil out the fat on the bear bone...but it makes a great handle especially when you harvested the bone :thumbsup: tippit
Bear bone handle from three legged Stubby.

would putting dish soap in the boiling water help w/ the fat? Also, do you have a reccomendation on the epoxy?
many thanks
Kevin
I love the 1st knife Jeff. Very beautiful!

Thats awesome, I love the old file blades!!!! Very nice!
Dang Tim, That's almost embarrassing to see :knothead: That was an early one...but it could be worth a lot in 200 years :) Doc
Doc, I must admit your work has improved a little but this is still very functional and sharp and one that I almost alway carry. I would gladly trade you this one for a current Tippit blade though (and this one comes complete with a little mojo). :bigsmyl: :biglaugh:
Here's a few raspy skinners small is the word.<><
