I just got back in the country, and the first thing I wanted to do was open my toolbox, an make something!
I was going to get on the lathe, but I found this old Finnish knife bade when I was sorting out my tools, so I decided to polish it up, and make a new handle. I know it's not the 'proper' way of handling a knife, and it's not a proper puukko handle, but I wanted to try something a bit different, so made a laminate of oak and mahogany, with a cut-out in he central mahogany laminates, to accept the tang, and fastened the blade with epoxy and a brass pin. Almost finished:
I need to finish shaping the handle, and oil/wax it, and make a leather sheath now.
