Post by: sticshooter on May 08, 2011, 11:12:00 PM
Just got these done. Anyone wanna take a guess at what the handle is on the top knife?

It looks like an artificial granite counter top material. I like it on the knife, whatever it is. That blade style is still my favorite for a skinning knife.

That was my guess Chuck, Corian scraps make some nice handles.

Can you show a closeup bud?

I'll take a stab at it:

The inner porous portion of an elk antler that's been filled with epoxy

Ksilolita?  Aka "wood stone" or Xylolite.

Stickshooter,
 Good thing someone else guessed it cause I know how times are tight for everyone soooo I was going to say it came from a "head stone" from some nearby graveyard...  :scared:  <")))><

:bigsmyl:  

Very cool looking handle Frank!  That idea has been in my head for awhile now too, but shop time for new knives - or knives people have been waiting on - has been nearly nonexistent.  I should have a few finished by the end of this month though!!

So how'd you fill it?  Vacuum, positive pressure, gravity flow?  Inquiring minds want to know!

Say  :wavey:  to Shell for me.  I have to call you two one of these days... it's been too long!
