I am looking for a rat tail knife blank. I posted in the knife/pack wanted add but got nothing. Anyone here make them and would be willing to trade or sell one?? thanks.
I got my hands on a nice piece of polished mammoth tusk for the handle, just need a blade and maybe a guard. thanks.
ragweedforge.com, Jantz knife supply, do a search for nordic knife blanks on google. You will most likely want a ferrule to cover the mammoth. Has it been stabilized? If not, then could be prone to cracks and splitting. Before you use this, would suggest buying a water buffalo horn and practicing on something cheaper.
Dryad carries Helle knife blanks, also look up green river knives at Track of the Wolf muzzleloading.
Atlanta Cutlery or Crazy Crow
crazy crow trading carries them! i made 2 from them!

I like to support sponsers so I would go with Dryad and you can't beat the Helle knife blades . Drew
Take a look at the blanks we have on the website. We probably have something you will want.

Go with a sponsor. Post on the knife makers forum on here too. I am sure wing it can hook you up.
I will order at least one helle blank, they look like a great start, and I will practice before using the mammoth.
I was hoping to find a 'higher grade" blank if possible. thanks for the info.
