Crooked knife

[MickeS]

This is a crooked knife I cobbled together this fall.

Blade by Joel Delorme, UK.

100x15-9mm O1 in 2.5mm thickness, I think it is.

Handle moose antler, peened 4mm brass rods and glued with home made glue out of spruce resin, ash and olive oil.

Very nice looking crooked knife, Micke. I had wondered if I'd see that blade turned into a knife. How does it perform? Also, would you have some antler like that you might be willing to part with? What's the receipe for the glue?

Bushboy - sorry no, you could maybe ask jojo (the blade maker I bought this blade from...)

jojo - the blade performs very well, but I made the angle between blade and handle too small. I might have to rehandle it to get a better working angle
I'm running low on moose antler, but my little brother who hunts a lot is always looking for shedded horns for me - I hope he'll find some before the snow falls.

The glue is heated spruce resin mixed with crushed charcoal/ash and some olive oil. The oil I added because just resin and coal/ash became too brittle when cold.
