Looks like a fancy little push dagger to me.Rossr wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 1:11 am Well this fell off my bench today. Got to make up a sheath yet and put a final edge on it. Forged hex stock 1078. Forked antler with wood ends and brass peened over. No clue what came over me with this handle. Surprising feels good in my hand at least. Thought I'd share , et the what the heck is that and are u sure that is a knife comments begin

Well isnt that an interesting thought hmmm......honestly no idea what vibe I was after on this one. Sometimes I just try stuff and in this case i had that piece of antler on the bench and seemed like something to try ....I think it looked better in my head lolThatWeirdKnifeGuy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 2:28 am Instead of a sheath you should make a walking stick/sheath (a stick with a fitted slot in the top).Put that knife into the top of a gnarly staff and you'd look like a medieval knife wizzard.
That's the vibe you were hoping for, er no?
Never thought of it that way Thanks!doglegg wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 2:46 amLooks like a fancy little push dagger to me.Rossr wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 1:11 am Well this fell off my bench today.

Lol...that was the response I expected
Thank you and I agree antler handles have to be held and fiddled with to get them right before they get epoxied and pinned.
Thanks, I do think its good to try different things at times you never know what may come
Appreciate that Thank you!
