Hi All
This post was inspired by Horseman1's post.
For a while I have thought about combining my hobby (knife making) with my love of all things South Pacific.
So here goes,
I started carving a Moai knife handle, which was constantly re-worked to try and get the right profile, inspired by many posts on the forum.
When I saw Horseman1's post about a knife I decided to try and finish the project.

Handle - English Bog Oak (very, very old 1000yrs+) Inset Paua shell, finished with Teak Oil.
Guard - Black Buffalo Bone
Blade - Lammi Balde, part of an original batch made between 1928-1930.

I am making a sheath from Stingray skin and a blade stand from the same Bog Oak.
Hope you like
Regards
Flynny
