New 119 Special Project

[Haebbie]

Hi Guys,

I found another blade blank from the 119 and I don't know what to do. Shall I make a fantasy handle like I did with the damask blade or shall I copy the traditional Buck handle with different materials?

What do you think?

Kind Regards,
Herbert

I don't know Haebbie... but you have an incredible collection of 119's!

Haebbie,

Do one of your own designs!! That Damy 119 is fantastic looking. Keep us posted with pictures.

btw, ITE has decided to let me acquire a unfinished 650 blade and a Custom Shop dagger without a handle. I'm fired up about those two projects. Armand is da man!!

Thank you, Knifeschmied. The second on the left hand side was the first Buck knife I bought. I got it in Winter 1998.

Thank you, Flatlander, for your opinion. I think I'll take mastodon ivory, birch skin, and try to make layers out of fernambuk.

Congratulations to you about the blanks!

If there is anybody in the BF who has a Buck blade blank (blade blanks) left, please let me know (haebbie at yahoo.de).

Best,
Haebbie

That one with the white handle is beautiful! Perfecto!
