Indians For Guns

Hi all,
Had this project in mind for some time and finally had a go at it. I've not been a big fan of the full flat grind before but having gone through endless acolades on the net about the efficiency and ease with which a razor sharp edge can be obtained tickled my fancy.
I have chosen a scandinavian Pukko type blade shape with a single piece round wood grip, soft steel bolster and pommel and brass inlays. Below are a few pics of the result which made me a believer!
Comments and suggestions are most welcome











Cheers

A very nice looking knife you have made there, congratulations again!

Mark

Very beautiful. How did you put in the brass ring specially at the rear end??

Regards

Thanks Mark and aadhaulya,
@Atul ji: The lower brass ring is retained by a soft steel pommel which is revited to cap the bottom end of the grip.

very well executed project AD

Just one question why you always use m-seal in handles

Tnx Pratik!
to answer your question in two words...; 'it works'..!
well, For tapered hidden tang blades, I am yet to find something that gives a stronger bond or is easier to work on. Please do share if you have any better alternatives in mind..!

"AD"!!!!!
You always have a trick or two up your sleeve
What I admire is your innovative approach in Knife making
This knife is simply elegant in looks & means business
Re: "M-Seal" it works - you can say that again...I used it recently to great advantage (wait for my post)...
BTW - Do you have a wood turning gizmo? Your rounded handle is exquisite bro & with the brass pommel & rear cap too!
Just my 2 cents....some diamond pattern checkering on the handle would've been nice - especially for a better & firm grip!
Keep them coming Bro

Thanks Briha sir! your appreciation truly means a lot..!:-)

woodwork: No special gizmos for wood. I just buy those round wooden sticks/rods(1inch dia. x 1foot) from local hardware stores, which are sold as handles to be fitted on various carpentry & garden tools. They come pre formed/rounded on a lathe and hence save a lot of work on my part..i just cut them to required size and work in the final shape using a hand rasp.

I really like the wooden handgrip on the knife.
