So I thought I would start small and work my way up      

Made this out of an old saw blade so I left it beat up. I should be able to put some scales on it this weekend.

 

 

Now that was fun!

Nice!!!!

I have a Damascus blank that looks almost identical.Fits the hand perfectly for a skinner.

Looks like a great shape. Well done!

I like that shape too.  It reminds me of a buck mini-alpha.  How long is it?  Great job.  Looking forward to seeing it w/ scales.  Larry

That a very nice looking necker. Are you going to drill holes for the handle?<><

Thanks guys...the shape is like so many I've seen here and worked to fit the hand, and it does!

Frank, I went about as far as I could last night and thought I would leave the drillin' for today.

Two 1/16 finish nail pins? What do you think?

WOW I don't know much about making knifes but i know alot about wearing and using them... that is killer.

Ok....so here is where I got today. Not far but with two young boys, this is a lot!    

I drilled two 5/64" holes for my pins, and one 1/4" hole for better bond with the epoxy (?). I was going to do an antler handle, but I have some nice cocobolo that I think will look great.

 

I hope to put some scales on it tomo.

Untill then....

So I found some time today, and this is what I came up with....I went with the cocobolo and I think it turned out nice.  







The handle needs a few more coats of oil, and I need to get some leather for a sheath.

This is so addicting...my next will be a rather large Helle Lapland...I can't wait!  

She's a beaut!

Yes, it turned out really nice.  Good job.  And I like your choice of BH's.

Nice job on the handle!  What's the overall length and blade length?  Larry

Thanks all.

Larry, I missed the length question on your first post: OAL 4 1/8" and the blade is exactly 2", with about 1 1/2" working area...Not sure how it happened but it just looked right.
