That's over the top, that handle looks awesome and very sturdy. How thick are the walls of the handle?

Crazy!

When I sat that big round handle, I thought, oh, no he isn't going to drill that out!


Great so far!

Wow. For those of us who don't have the skills or tools to even begin to tackle something like this, your pictures are fascinating.
Keep them coming please.
Thanks.

Very cool.

One day, I'd like to commission a survival piece that could be used as a knife but also be fitted on top of a pole as a spear-head.

The holes in the guard in some Loveless Chute knives are so it could be lashed onto a staff and used as a spear, if the need should arise.
At least that's what I've been more than once.

Great knife, by the way!

as much as I love the Green Machine, I'm thinking I should've held out for this one!
Fabulous thread Claudio, I'm really enjoying the insight into your workings.
