All About Pocket Knives

Here is another that I bought cheap. I claimed that I got it because Ii have a small collection of Sharp brand knives, but in reality I think that I just felt sorry for it.
The pommel was missing. The tang was forked at the end, and I think that the original was pressed on in a way that widened the fork and held the pommel on. I tried a couple of different ways to make a pommel out of brass, but that was beyond my means. Then one day I was looking at an end piece of Whitetail antler that was too short for a knife handle, and ... the rest is history!
Pictured is the sheath that I made for it as well.

Nice save, made an interesting knife!

Nice save!
I'll bet that pommel and the extra length it adds to the handle makes it very comfortable to use!

Love it.

creative repair.

It's not where I'm at so I can't double check, but, if I recall correctly, I have the same knife, made in Japan with Western's traditional two prong tang and two pins through the pommel. I assume you put it together wth glue. In its new life yours should make a usefull unique knife.

That's a cool save, like it!
