…the handle today

and then after the first contact with the buff, it looks like this 🙂

…the last part of the handle

and also do something about that hole in the back 😉

…some photos of the knife building process 🙂

…forgot to take some photos during the progress, sorry about that 😉

but here all the parts of the handle is glued together 🙂

and another whoops from me when I was drilling a hole in the back of the handle!!!

since the main part of the handle is cross cut birch, I want to strengthen the last part of it

becouse the tang is just going in about 40mm. in the last pice of wood. But it wasn’t a good idea

to drill so close to the tang, the drill went of 😦

…on a new one, it’s going to bee the one below of this two 🙂

think that I have to bay a new rubber 😉

…and here is the result:

this project gave me a lot of new experience in knifebuilding, so I’m very greatful to you Karl-Erik who give me the possibility, by sending me one of your ful tang blade 🙂

I’m not sure I would have build a ful tang knife if you hadn’t  😉

but what I’m sure of is that this isn’t the one and only for me 🙂

…and a thin thread…well I’m not so pleased with that 😦 but I have learned a lot by making this sheath and knife 🙂

I had to shorten down the needles before I sew the belt loop.

and now it’s just the dying left 🙂

…so I can take away the glue clamps 🙂

and here I have drilled some nail holes in the sheath and belt loop, perhaps a little bit to big holes but I didn’t have any smaller drill at home 😦  I also glued a pice of vulcan fiber between the leather.

I mark where to drill (with that big drill) and also used it as you can see 🙂

tomorrow I’ll will show you how thik the thread is 🙂

…but I’ll give it a try, useing raw hide leather for the sheath 🙂

…hope to get more time next week for knifebuilding when mrs. has start to work again 😉

my first fultang knife is now finished, it was a little bit tricky but I’m quet pleased with how it ended up 🙂

…there’s still a sheath to be made, but I have not made my mind up yet, if it’s going to be a sheath in     raw hide or shaft leather. what I do know is that the sheath it’s going to be a challenge for me 😉
