This was made by a fellow trad archer and knife maker, Mike O'Machearley who lives up the road a ways from me a bit in Wilmington Ohio.

I alway have liked old school stuff.  Yellow handeled knives are as old school as they get.  I searched the world over for yellow Delrin but I tell you what...Case and the rest of the knifemaking world must have the market cornered on that stuff cause you can't find it.

But you can find yellow Corian.  That's right....Corian...  Counter top material.  So I went to my buddy Mike and said make me a knife outta this stuff.

ATS-34 is the blade material.  9 inches long with a 4.5 inch blade.  Brass bolster and fingerguard with old school yellow handles.  Too cool.

Very nice. Looks like a soon to be lucky knife. Any sheath pics?
This stuff ain't no rocket surgery science!

I'll take one and post it later.  The sheath is nothing fancy BUT....it was dipped and allowed to soak in boiling beeswax and is waterproof as a ducks butt.

Never heard of that. Sounds intriguing. Do tell more.

Oh, sorry. The knife looks great, too. Never thought about using Corian for knife scales. Acrylic is pretty tough.
