utility/hunting knife work in progress

Post by MJ. »

just finished rough shaping the handle on this hunter, a composite of black g10 and black linen micarta. the g10 replaces some of the tang to reduce weight but leaves it stronger than a stick tang. once sanded the g10 should blend in with the micarta.

Beautiful workmanship, if I say I've got wood do you promise not to baton it? :oops:
