bk17 handle mod

[driemb]

didn't know where to post this so I started a new thread.
Wanted to try to make a handle from teak.
I only had very simple tools but I like the result.

D driemb Saw your work on the dutch knife forum, excellent work buddy!

 

[driemb]

thanks for the compliments,
I always found the original scale's to small for my hand even after adding a thin liner on both sides. Now , it is just a joy to pick it up and feel the "right"fit.

Way too small for my hands as well.

Ordered some tools and leather to make a new sheath, but it will take some time before i post any picture's of that.

 

[tanglediver]

No hurry, take your time.

 

[driemb]

It kept me busy for some time, and it was not easy, I made several mistakes, but I like the end result: a leather sheath for my bk-17 !
Hope the link works
