HOLY CRAP Alexander. Thats amazing, I never would of imagined using a Tiger tooth!! Very cool!
Ho Jan!! :) I have a project in the works I call Bad To The Bone Ka-Bar Clone. If you all would like I can do a pictorial or a WIP of the process?
Anything new guys?
Thanks Randy, (and call me Alexander please, Mr. Noot is my Dad ;-) )
The handle is one of the canine teeth (corner tooth) of a tiger. The customer came to me with the specific request to turn that into a knife handle. One of the main problems with that was the fact that it was almost completely hollow. So I filled it up with a resin type material.
He also wanted something with a forge finish. So I did that (it's a reforged Nicholson file) and I polished out the flats to give it a nice bit of contrast.
I polished the tooth a little but hardly touched it since the customer wanted it to look as natural as possible. Pretty much everything down from the white spike on it is the root of the tooth.
That's a nice neck knife. I love the way you do your logo in the handle itself. Seen you do that a few times. What kind of technique do you use to get something like that done?
Thanks Mr Noot. :) That knife is awesome! what is that handle?
I agree its worthy of your signature . for sure!
You did a fine job on this one Alexander, it deserved to be the first one with a signature
