My Finished Julius Pettersson knife.

[Frazer d]

Hey guys. I thought I would show you my finished Julius Pettersson knife. I bought the blade from the ray mears website and I made the handle myself. I used Antler for the main part of the handle and some old wood for the spacers. It was my first time doing anything like this so im happy with the results. Let me know what you guys think

Hey matey that looks brilliant!, the antler is lovely.

Thanks man I really enjoyed making it It's a great feeling when you finish it.

Very nice mate, it's virtually identical to mine. The blade was a gift and I used a piece of antler from a caribou that I shot in the NWT years ago. Despite having many knives, this is the one I use more than any other for general stuff. Glyn.

Very well done! Great blade choice too. How thick is the blade?

Very nice, when i finally get around to doing a knife thats the blade i want to get. dont know why but its rustic charms appeal to me.

 

[Frazer d]

Yeah, the blade is very unique which adds to the attraction for me. It's great fun to make, I would recommend it to anyone

Frazer, that's a beautiful knife you made. Really like the handle treatment and the "old wood" adds a lot of class. Thanks for sharing.

Beautifull knife there. I have just bought the JP blade my self, and I look forward to make my own knife.
I will make the handle from curly birch and antler.
