neck knife

[Pat B]

This is a little neck knife I put together on my Bowyers Bench( d;^) ) for a friend. I found out that Josh has a plasma cutter so I asked him to cut out some trade points and knife blades for me. I made this for Josh in return.
 The blade is from cold rolled steel and hafted to the antler tip handle with epoxy. I drilled and pinned the handle also plus added the sinew wrap set in TBIII. The hand stitched sheith is from a leather scrap and a leather boot lace.

I like it. what guage and composition was that?

[Pat B]

Hova, I don't know anything about the steel for the knife. Josh cut it out of cold rolled steel, that's all I know. I had given him an old circular saw blade and some old bandsaw material to use but he cut these out until he could work on the materials I gave him.

looks good. if you need metal for knives , old files are nice. really old files are great cause they are usually really high carbon steel.

Nice knife, Pat. I like neck knives and wear one when I hunt. Jawge

Hova, I have two knives made from old files by friends that are bladesmiths. Old files make very good knives.
 George. I have one attached to the strap of my hunting quiver. I haven't getten used to wearing one around my neck.
 Thanks Butch and Andy.

Stan, I make everything I can and trade for the rest. I do a little leather work and baskets and other stuff but for some reason I don't flint knap!

I bet you meant to say I don't flint knap yet.       You are a true craftsman Pat B you really are.
