A thru tang file knife - 02/19/20 04:28 AM
This was my first attempt at a hidden tang or thru tang (not sure which is right). The steel is from a file. The handle is mesquite and deer antler from a deer I shot a few years ago. The bone and wood is separated by black micarta liners that I made. I cast the guard and pommel using lost foam casting. I am very pleased with how it turned out. Had a couple of "learning moments". The first being the aluminum started to show pits when I started polishing. Still working that out. The second was the mesquite wood developed a small hairline crack near the guard. Hope yall like it.
I was wondering if yall thought this was good enough to sell. Been thinking about posting some on Facebook and seeing if anyone would be interested in my work. ( Mods- No, I'm not trying to sell it here.)
