I am a lineman and I needed a knife to skin wire with. So I made this. It is 01 Tool Steel with 416 stainless steel bolsters and pins and handle is made from some old work pants. Overall length 6 1/8 inches.

Nice quality, both knife and sheath. Looks useful, ergonomic, and dress presentable.

Well done!

Very nice. :thumbup:

What are the handles made of? "Old work pants"??
Did you make "micarta" with them or what? :)

Again, great looking knife.
 
Yes I make homemade micarta or whatever it's called. It's fairly simple to make.

Thanks for all the positive comments.

That is a very nice looking piece. It looks as though it would be very comfortable and secure in the hand. Have you made other knives? This has a lot of matched curves and detail.

Thanks for posting the pic.
 
Wow! What a beautiful working knife. Anyone would be proud to own/use that. One of my favorite blade styles also. Thanks for showing it.
