Knive Handles

Wow, they look really nice, Thos! If you want some more practice, I’ll lend you a couple of knives!

Thomas, your woodworking is top notch, but you always show yourself up with the leather work. :-)

Great project all the way around.

Very nice Thos. A great job. So are you going to take it to Woodcraft?

These look great and the inlay really kicks it up a notch. Of course the sheath is a jaw-dropper.

Handles look great, but am I the only one who thinks the little knife is having a bit too much fun with the big knife. Man, I gotta get back to my gutter…

I like the combination of talents here. Your craftsmanship on both is great. The leather work is fantastic. Renewing old knives, I love. Combining the two you get new and exciting. Far out.

You can do anything you set your mind to.
I envy anyone that can do that.

Beautiful sheath Thos. I’d love a gun case that looked like that. Your inlay came out spectacular. It must feel good to be so talented. Thanks for showing us how it’s done.

Hi Thomas;

I know I’m supposed to be looking at the knife handles, and all that, but I just can’t keep my eyes off your leather work.

I have that same problem with a lot of your projects. The carving is just awesome.

Nice project.

My very first woodworking project was a whittled scale out of bois d’arc for a broken Case XX my grandfather gave me, when I was about 12. I carried that knife for nearly 40 years and just gave it to my 13yr son. It’s been sharpened so many times the blades no longer have the same profiles, but it is still sharp. Of course my son cannot carry it to school like we could back then, but he does carry it. Thanks for bringing that memory back to me, Tom. Sometime I am going to make new scale for some of our kitchen knives too. Great job.

A beautiful job on the handles, & some exceptional leather work.

TomK reminded me of boots my Dad bought me when I was in grade school.

They had a knife pocket with a jack knife in it.

Things have sure changed. I would have been expelled nowadays.

Ditto Dicks comment. Great work Tom.

Beautiful work Tom, as I’ve come to expect with all of your projects. Like the others I’m drawn to the leatherwork at least as much as the wood.

I looked up the knife kits from Woodcraft, how would you rate the quality of the steel in the blades?

Excellent craftsmanship. Almost missed this one. You should do a blog on your leather work, Are you could write a how to do book on carving leather. Thanks for posting.
