Bone Handled Knife

[GreyWhiskers]

I put a deer bone handle on this store-bought blade. The handle is pinned and has a poured bolster. I stained the bone to antique it a bit. GW

Nicely done GW :applause:

Lookin' good. :thumbsup:
What material is the bolster and how did you pour it?

 

[GreyWhiskers]

Pewter bolster. You need to make a dam out of something like a business card then pour the metal. Some file and sanding work after that.

How did you do the stamp mark?

 

[MSW]

looks great!

 

[GreyWhiskers]

Crocket,

The stamp was on the blade when I bought it. Dunno what it is sposed to signify but since my first name starts with "L" I just left it on.

Very nice GW! I really like the natural groove you got on the underside of the bone handle. I bet it holds comfortably!

It is a pc stamp mark used at the time.

Normally I detest that style of knife handle, I will admit, I do like that that one.

Great looking knife, I would carry it no problem.

Great looking knife. Deer leg bones make pretty good handles and they color up well. I have one, made by a local guy, who also forged the blade. Very proud of it and it gets a lot of attention.
