I got a little break this summer away from Ediger & Son Daycare to put a couple knives together for this years hunting season and here is one of them. I used 1095, the blade is just under 4" in length with the overall length being close to 7.5". The handle is from an old hedge post from my great grandpas farm. I'm guessing the hedge post to be close to 100 years old.



I did the handle a bit different than any other knife in the past. I wanted an old look to the handle so instead of sanding the scales smooth I just carved them down with a pocket knife, leaving the carving marks exposed. Then I lightly sanded the scales to make sure there were no splinters. I kinda like how it turned out, pretty rough but just right for it's intended use.

I like a knife that comes with a story. Very nice.

I think that is a beautiful knife. Kinda like how old barn wood makes the best frames, that has a "real" look about it.

Well done.

That is a cool knife!  It has tons of character and detail!  You had to know I would like it!

Very nice!

Wow, you are tearing it up! Really nice and while it's a subtle knife its very eye catching.

I can see that baby still being used when that Osage is 200 years old.        

Nice job. This knife has a lot of character.

Thanks guys, appreciate it.
