Kabar Rehandle
Kabar Rehandle
Just finished this guy up. The customer wanted me to do a handle with the same wood he made his dining room table out of years ago. He had some pieces but couldn't remember the wood. I'm leaning towards ipe, I've done a few decks with this wood and it matches exactly, right down to the yellow streaks, and the fact that it seems as hard as steel LOL. This was made from parts from the Canal Street manufactured Kabar copper bolstered barlows:

Re: Kabar Rehandle
First, that is a gorgeous knife. I too love the steel pins against the darker wood. It has that solid yet organic look to it. Very nice!!!royal0014 wrote:Very nice, love the birdseye / wood combo
Now a question, I thought "Birds Eye" pins were the type that look more like a pin over a larger washer. Is that larger tang pin actually referred to as a birds eye?

Re: Kabar Rehandle
Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. I actually like doing this better than my job LOL!
Americanedgetech, it actually is a pin in a larger washer so to speak. They're both the same material so I was able to hide the pin. Many times you'll see a brass washer with a NS pin, which really gives it that eyeball look.

Re: Kabar Rehandle
Too much to learn... I had thought yours was either a Loveless "screw type" or a fat pin.
I am even more impressed Eric. Beautiful workmanship!

Beautiful work as always Eric.
I love the clean lines of that knife and the wood is attractive also.
