socks 32,253 Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 I’ve had this blade sat for ages whilst I was looking for a really nice handle material. Cut down an ash tree last week with a lovely tiger stripe pattern through the middle so used that as the handle. I’ve put a false edge on the tip and roughed and blue backed the top quarter of the knife and put a pattern down half of the spine. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forest of dean redneck 11,918 Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Looks a fair length to it but nice looking knife once again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dytkos 17,884 Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Looks great mate, would the "newness" of the wood not have any effect of the finish of the handle? Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spsurfer 891 Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Very nicht knife and wonderfully wood. Hopefully the wood will not warp, shrink, split. Regards Nicolas Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, D. No mate. I cut the wood down into inch square pieces and soak in pentacryl for two days. Let them drip dry and then dry them in the oven for two days. Result is a completely dry and hard material. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
