I promised Karl I'd send him a pic so I thought I would include you all

I have one of these





I've used it for years and I really like it

Well all but the plastic handle

Lately I was a using it and I got the handle loose so I thought since I'm going to the Blade Show I won't epoxy back on the old handle I'll look for something a bit different for a suitable handle

I was at a table of a vendor that had some neat African game horns and I happened to run in to Karl

I like Karl

He's a bowhunter and all around great outdoorsman and makes a hell of a knife to boot

I told him what I was looking to do and he was ever so kind to offer up his opinion and help me choose something

I promised I'd send him some pics

So here you go

An Unbreakable Umbrella with a Kudo Horn Tip as a Handle














I reamed it out with a big drill bit and than cut it flush to match the button base

Than I sanded and tapered the horn to match up

On the carbon shaft of the umbrella I scuffed it and used a saw to make some notches

Than I filled the horn with Acu-Glass and some fibers and set the shaft in place

A light buff and I'm pleased

Thanks Karl

 
That's KICK@SS Joe!! I need one of those myself... SO tired of the 'lady' like umbrellas I normally have laying around. Ha.
 
Joe - that rocks!! :thumbup: :thumbup:
You're a man of many talents and impeccable taste.
I am thrilled to have been in on the ground floor of one of your innovations. :D
 
Very nice Joe - looks like there's going to be a run on Kudu horn :D
 
Joe, I thought you were a "regular guy," but now I see that you are really a "man about town." ;) :D

But seriously, the kudu horn handle is beautiful, and accurately portrays your hunting background. Great choice, and good on Karl, too.
 
That's a great umbrella anyway. With the kudu horn handle, you can stab first and then bludgeon them.
 
Thanks guys

I'm feel very fancy

To echo my favorite Disney musical/cartoon .......... I use antlers in all my decorating :)

Not really an antler but close enough :)
 
John Steed could've used one to go with his steel bowler!
Or...
Joe needs a steel bowler :D
