neck knife
« on: November 22, 2010, 10:51:15 am »
  One of the guys I do landscape work with has a plasma cutter. I asked Josh if he would cut out some trade points and knife blades for me so in return I made this little neck knife for Josh. I set the blade into the antler tip handle with epoxy then pinned it with a bamboo skewer. Finally I used a sinew wrap and seal that with TBIII. The sheath was made from a scrap of leather and a leather boot lace.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Thanks guys. These little knives are cool to work on. I've only made a few but plan to make more. The leather work comes naturally to me since I've been doing it for almost 40 years.

I delivered the neck knife to Josh today and he loved it...but his sister, Kaanan saw it and wanted one too. We all work together doing landscape work. Well, when I got home I went to the basement and in a little while I came up with this. I will made a similar neck sheath for this one too.
  I used a brass pin and epoxy to haft this blade. I thought this antler tip worked well with the blade.

You do nice work Pat. Those knives remind me of the one I got caught with going thru the Nashville airport security with, Did not even think about it being attached to my quiver which was in my carry on bag. Luckily I was allowed to mail it home from the airport.
