I have a good friend (and member here) who is an artist when it comes to hunting gear..knives, bows, leather goods etc..

I sent 3 Helle blades to him and asked him to put some handles on them.

He just sent me pictures of the first one.

It's a Helle Brakar blade and a wood/elk antler handle.  The finger guard is made from antler                   I can't wait to get it.

 


 

That's a beauty!

WAY COOL!

Awesome knife! Congrats!

 i know who he is! and not only can he make beautiful works of art. He is a great friend as well. You should be proud of those babies!!!

That is a fine looking knife. I am sure I know who he is as well.

Thanks guys.  This might be my newest favorite knife.

Mr Vic, I'm very proud of his work..I have a lot of it, but prouder that he is a friend.

I really like how the handle woods resemble the riser laminations on some bows.  Anyone else notice this?  Was that intentional?  Does it match your bow?  Beatiful knife even if it doesn't, but quite a cool concept to expand on in the future as well.

Bunyan, I sent him 3 blades and this was the first knife he did.

He told me that on one of the next two he has the perfect handle to match a bow he made for me.

I can't wait.

Beautiful work!
