Hi all, I'm new here and this seemed like a good place to get the help I need. I've been toying with the idea of a handmade bowie knife with a bone handle for a few years. I don't have to tools or equipment to do the blade or metal working so the blade and guard would be ordered. I do have access to plenty of deer antlers and bones however.

Now I want to make something similar to the knife used by Chavez in Windtalkers and lt. Raines bowie in Inglorious Basterds.

The problem is I have no idea where to start. Any help with methods of fixing the blade to the handle, how to prepare the bone, blade materials, etc would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance everyone.

I'm sure the mods will come along to move this to shop talk.

Do a google search for knife maker supply.
You'll get plenty of hits.
Good luck and be sure to put some pix up in the gallery when you are done :)
