Hats & Knives

[Hammer67]

I've work with a lot of Black locust, tough and durable wood a lot like osage.

Have you used it for staves as well?

That's a classy looking hat.

Yes I have. The knife handle material was from a cut off end of a bow stave, seasoned about 10-15 years. I'd love to see some knife manufacturers use Black Locust heart wood on traditional folders.

Agreed. It can be a beautiful wood that seems to be overlooked by knifemakers.

Green River blade that I got as a blank and fashioned a handle from black locust and wood burned the edges. Hat depicting another of my hobbies.

Very nice Greg and you were so kind to gift me a pair of your knives with sheath and all. You also inspired me to get my own Green River Blank and now that Spring is approaching I'll work on it this late Spring or Summer. It came with some wood for the handle but I'm unsure of what it is.

Thanks, Paul. I'm sure you'll enjoy that project, with your skills and a few basic tools should be a breeze.

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out, Paul!

Yup - that's exactly what it is. Made to last several lifetimes.
