Custom handled knife.

[crushthesystem]

Right well first of all this is my first attempt at handling a knife, I bought the blade from "hillbill" and he also made my sheath. I didn't want to bite off more than i could chew to be honest.

The handles are stabilised elm burr and i used hand tool to do all of the work (I don't know how others do it but thought it worth mentioning).
I really enjoyed working on this project and I'm so proud of the outcome even if it isn't perfect or as beautiful as a lot of the knives made on here.

cheers everybody. The only slightly worrying thing about is that now I just want to do another one so I could end up with an unhappy bank account and an unhappy girlfriend
