I'm stsrting a new knife project:-
I am going to have a go at creating a Tike knife, this time with a full tang blade, which won't allow me to carve anything in the round only on the two flat sides:-
Blade - 01 Tool Steel
Pins - Nickel Silver
Handle - Alternative Ivory

Here are the componants, Blade is drilled to lighten and to provide a better surface for epoxy to grip.
Handle slabs are roughly cut to shape, and you can see my traced design, a basket weave on the reverse and a tiki design on the front.
Will post pics as I progress.
Regards
Flynny
