DUCKWING 302 Posted March 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 MATE , IN KNIFE MAKING IT SEEMS TO ME THERES NO RIGHT OR WRONG ...............JUST WHAT WORKS FOR YOU PERSONALLY I SEEM TO LOOK AT THE KNIFE BLADE . WORK OUT WHICH MATERIALS GO BEST WITH THE BLADE THEN MAKE A FULL SIZED DRAWING OF THE FINISHED KNIFE , SORT OF A PLAN ,IF IT DOESNT LOOK RIGHT JUST RUB IT OUT AND CHANGE IT ! THESE MEASUREMENTS CAN THEN BE TRANSFERED OVER TO THE KNIFE , YOU NEED TO HAVE A BALANCE BETWEEN WOOD AND HORN ....... MY USER ........... THIS ONE WAS JUST MADE FROM BITS I HAD LAID ABOUT THE WORKSHOP DUCKWING Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fletcher 0 Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Here's a couple of pictures of a rabbit dispatching tool I've just finished, these are used in falconry as a humane method of dispatch when a neck pull isn't possible, normally a sharpened screwdriver does trick but I had an antler and some time.... Thanks for looking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
