I need more inspiration. Want to see fixed blades.

[sogflash]

I'm back to making handles for hidden tang fixed blades.

I'm open to anything, but I'm especially interested in handles that melt into the hand. Big or small front guard that leads to a finger groove, nice and round in the middle and ending with a finger groove for the little finger.

That might be a bit to specific, but everything is welcome, especially since I'll make more than one.

As always I forgot to mention something. I'd mostly like to see homemade knives with Scandinavian style blades. The Scandinavian style is not necessary.

Jack, I quickly ran trough some pages, but I didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm sure it's in there somewhere amongst all the others.

That should narrow it down some

This one comes to mind. Like the looks of it but not sure exactly who made it. Maybe Christian will see this and fill us in.

Try asking Pipeman.
Here's one that he did. I think he's done others.

I might have been way to specific, so now I'm open to seeing a lot of different fixed blades. Hopefully homemade.

I found these amongst many when looking at Pipemans stuff.

The links don't work, but Pipeman posted the photos among others below.

I just started playing with these last winter so am still on a learning curve. Love the simplicity of the knives and the complexity of the antler and ivory sheaths. Have a great day.

Not exactly what you are looking for, but thought I would post it anyway.

That particular knife was made by Finnish smith Pekka Tuominen.

Probably won't help, but here's mine.

Every picture helps, I might get inspired to do the handle differently than I first intended.

This one isn't really contoured like you describe, but it's my most recent homemade handle (thanks to ScruffUK for the blade!).
