So I found two knives I love, but cant afford. The Fehrman Last Chance and the First strike. Both of them have the same handle which (maybe a stupid reason for liking a knife) but is why I like them. I was wondering could anyone here advise me how I could put that kind of crosshatch pattern on another knife, for example an Esee 6. I wouldnt want to ruin the knife though...

Preferably Id get almost identical handles and put them on an esee 6 or similar knife, so if anyone knows how to make those handles and wants to give me a quote that would be cool.
 
Perhaps you could post some pictures?
I doubt anyone is going to do a search just to see what you want. We don't all know about Fermans and Esees.
 
You can do it on a mill

Or you can do it with a file
 
Pictures would have definitely helped

Hacksaw blade sounds right.

I'd set up the scales in a mitre type box and saw

$20 to buy one, or make one with some wood scraps.

I think the hacksaw is probably a good idea, but I'll probably try it on a cheap knife first just to see! :D Thanks guys
 
You need a mill to do the pattern illustrated because the lines are interrupted in a few places. You can get a simpler pattern with hacksaw or file.

Thanks for the photo. I like the interrupted pattern and may do one like it.
 
no you could do it with a hacksaw and a round file. the areas where its "interrupted" are just filed down to make grooves just below the bottom of the line cut with a hacksaw
 
The truth is that what is known as a "nail saw" with a hack saw blade that has 32 teeth per inch or so,is what you want to start with and then go to a file and then sand paper wrapped over a thin rod. To see somr of my work where I have done this go to cutomknifegallery.com enter and scroll down to the Persian that is for sale. Frank
