Any wood sgian handle treatments you would like to see?
I have four blades on order to keep me occupied over the looming winter.
I have a piece of fossil walrus tusk to play with again, and a really nice piece of quilted maple for two of the handles.
So right now I have two blades that could get "whatever" for a handle.
I am not talented enough to think about becoming a vendor here. I am just a guy with some basic shop skills and basic hand tools. The fourth and fifth knives off my bench came out pretty well, so I am planning / hoping to put one thread in the showroom of various handle treatments regular guys like you and I can easily do at home with out spending a fortune on specialized tools.
I also hope to put a different thread in this section of the system I have worked out that works for me. I basically googled up "home made knife making" and put together my own system based on what other people have already figured out, with an eye especially towards a sgian to wear in hose rather than all the other curcumstances other homemade knives encounter.
So ask already. I saw one a couple years ago of grandpa's partially rotted axe handle made into a sgian handle, so that has been done already. What look or idea do you have kicking around in your head you would like to see someone try? I am abotu to have some free time indoors...
