My first knife

[Butty79]

This is my first knife, my brother gave me a knife with a broken handle so I removed the handle and pins and replaced them with an antler handle and the pins are made from the ends of some old drill bits I had, the sheath is made from some 1 1/4 in pvc pipe using a technique that I learned in a botched attempt to make a pvc bow, the result of which left me with a surpluss of pipe so i moulded the sheath from it it holds the knife very firmly, then I slid over some bike tyre inner tube and secured some bike tyre around the whole thing (mainly because the pvc pipe can be brittle and the tyre protects itfrom shattering) I loved this project its not perfect but this is now one of my favorite bits of kit.

thanks for the heads up on the picture posting, I spent about three hours last night learning the wrong way of putting the pics up, and in one sentence it all became crystal clear, that'll serve me right for not just asking, many thanks Niels.
