Hmmmmm, what to do...... ( pics added)

[wasatchdan]

I'll put in my two cents.

Awww yeeeah!

I do believe there will be a horn handled BK17 in my future

 

[Jroden5446]

So, now that decision has been made, should I do all horn, or a horn and wood combo from my collection of fine woods

And I wonder if I should give removable handles a try, or just go with the standard pins and epoxy, hmmm

 

[The Warrior]

It would be cool to see a combo.

 

[tradewater]

A combo with pins and epoxy would look classic.

 

[thrillbilly]

pinned...horn with wood bolsters....would be killer. IMO

 

[Jroden5446]

Maybe something like this, ivory paper micarta liners, claro walnut burland sheep horn, strip the blade, hand rub finish with brass pins......

Hell yes, works for me.

 

[thrillbilly]

^this!

 

[Hawkeye5]

No.NO.No. only horn or wood only. But that's just me .

 

[Jroden5446]

Another liner option is some 1/8 inch thick birch , not as big a contrast as the micarta

Or no liner at all.....

Not really nessesary, but it's an option

 

[thrillbilly]

I liked the paper micarta better, more contrast the better. :thumbup:

Agree with this 110%. + an anqitued leather sheath with brass hardware.

Definately thinking leather, maybe something with a little gator inlay ( cleaning out my garage I found an ( I thought ) lost piece of gator skin

That would be AMAZING. I'm excited to see how this turns out.

10 or 77.... Those would look awesome on my 10, then I would put the linen on my 4... Where'd ya get 'em?
Mix the horn with the leopard looking wood; first pic, number 2 from the left, or the first one from the right.. Both really nice pieces!

That's the redwood burl, i get my wood slabs from Burl Source ( they are a dealer here) Mark has good prices and outstanding customer service

I want to see this turn out. bone tweener would be a first as far as i've seen.

 

[oXide]

Bone + Tweener = well, you already know that answer. I say 17 as well, mostly because I'm starting to regret not getting a 17 over a saber ground 16, but I'm holding out! I'll get a 17 after I get the other stuff on my list, like someplace to put the 17 when I get it, and some paracord to hold the 17.....

 

[Jroden5446]

Oh yes, first time doing a bolster, turned out nice, need to pin and polish up everything
