Scout Knife.....

Here's one I should have finished yesterday but, so I got it done tonight. The handle is acutally brown but with the inside light it turned out kind of redish. Its got a 6" 9260 blade with wrought iron fittings. The handle is a piece of stag that Chuck "Wild Rose" had sent me. I believe it came from a European knife at one time. I guess this is a recycle job.....

Definitely! It came off an old German knife with a broken blade. Ray - you sure turned a sow's ear into a silk purse.

The funny thing is I sent this to Ray before I hooked up with Gib. Didn't care all that much for stag crown grips! And look at me now.

Chuck, pretty good memory for an old fart. That could almost be a quote. That does seem to be one of my favorite adjectives..... guess I shouldn't be so quick to judge.....

Larry, You still making? Haven't noticed you around much latly...

Question

Ray ; not to appear too dumb; but does that tang come all the way thru the antler handle ??
If so; how do you make " the bend "?? :confused: :confused:
Or is there two seperate pieces; one tang from the front; and then a seperate piece from the back ???
I got a really nice blade from Chuck, and I need to know before I mess with it ..

Thanks for any info ;;
be well
Thom

Thom, The tang does go all the way threw the handle. There's a couple ways to do it. One is you make the tang long enough, heat it up and bend it and then thread the end. Also you can braise or weld a piece of all thread to the tang and bend it the way you need to. With a piece of stag like this you need to do some compound bends to make things square with the butt cap.

Question

Thanks Ray ;
I take it that you drill a hole thru one end of the antler; and then drill another thru the crown end; until the holes intersect ??:confused: :confused:
I understand the compound bends in the tang; I'm just trying to figure out the hole drilling thing in the antler ..
I remember the first powder horn; I kept looking for a "rubber drill bit " ; but nobody had them for sale..
Kinda like trying to buy a " sky hook "..to hang things from..
Thanks for the replys; hope yer winterin wellish..
Thom

P. S. I wish somebody would invent a small drill bit that fits into the end of a length of aircraft cable; the other end goes in to a drill chuck; so I could drill around bends in different materials..
Ie. horns, antler, wood, etc..
