Another knife in Thuya Burr

[HillBill]

After making myself a knife not too long ago, i had some scrap left over, a bit of 01 and enough thuya burr for 1 scale for a normal sized bushy knife. I didn't want to throw it away as i liked the wood so i had a play and came up with this little fella. I figure it will be a good little knife to take shooting for skinning game. I will be making a simple sheath for it as i plan on this being a little pocket knife.

01 3mm
White liners
BL 2"
OL 5"

I can see why you wouldn't want to waste those scales! You've pulled that together real nice!

How long did you spend on it?

Lovely little knife

Thuya root has to be my favorite wood for handles, Ive done couple of knives with it It's nice to work, great colour and I'm addicted to the smell

Here's my Svord peasant handled with it (bottom one)..........

I've got a nice block sat on my PC waiting for my SWC bushy blade to arrive.

Thanks .

By the time the sheath is finished i reckon it will have taken around a day or so to make. I have made it over a few days inbetween other stuff. It takes similar time to a normal sized bushy knife really. Not much less anyway.

Yeah the smell is really nice I must say its my material of choice after making the last 2 knives with it. That was just some random offcut i found on ebay.

Nice svord, I like it. Mine has some walnut scales on it.
