I like putting copper hardware and copper liners on a knife. Looks quite nice in my opinion.

OP KieranKlein Campfire Member K Joined: Jun 2014 Posts: 118	I was just going for something a little different than the norm. It is a little more angular than a typical knife handle but being a fighter I didn't want it to look too elegant if that makes sense. Overall hard to explain, but this picture I hope shows how it is supposed to fit in your hand. The rifle is a Marlin 1893 in 38-55 Custom Knives available at: https://www.etsy.com/shop/HammerDown?ref=hdr_shop_menu Contact me at hammerdownkjk(at)gmail.com

And that big blade is awesome I can only hope it turns out well. It is a 9.5" blade. Last edited by KieranKlein; 08/01/14.
