A handle for my Dave Budd blade

[uncleboob]

I was lucky enough to buy one of dave's blades a couple of weeks ago- finally managed to get a little handle on it.

Its not the best picture (or even the right way around!) but i'm pleased with the handle- had to make it in two pieces in the end but seems nice and strong. Handle is made from a scrap piece of oak that i found in the hedge after the local council had attacked the hedgerows with chainsaws and chippers

cheers

That's a nice looking handle there

The knife is pretty good as well

ooo i like that nice one

 

[Dave Budd]

nice work is it getting a sheath too?

 

[uncleboob]

Cheers Dave, glad you like it

...hopefully will be sheathed soon, still scratching my head on that one-I have some leather but haven't quite decided what to make. Not sure what would suit best, any ideas?

cheers

Looks great, does she cut well?

 

[uncleboob]

Its a lovely blade, scary sharp and seems to hold an edge really well. I'm going to be looking out for a bigger brother to keep this one company!

take care

Looks like a very comfortable handle. Nice one.
