Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Stag Patch ala VCM

So,I like small knives. I like this knife blank I get,it's a Russell Harrington Green River forged carbon. This Co. offers these blanks,they are some of the patterns that were out there in the late 1800's early 1900's.
Anyhow I did a few with wood but wanted to try to get stag scales on one. I did not concentrate too much on the pre sizing of the scales,and I did not even use some premium stag,this is decent.I figured there was a VERY BIG possibility I'd wreck out on the hafting ceremony.I really did not concentrate on fit & finish I just went with it,the pins is what had my attention.
1/8" domed/peened,"proud" pins,they expand at the head to just under 3/16" and I think the scales are on there for a good while
I actually surprised myself ,check this out........

That really looks great Vince!!!

vince i have the same knife with purple heart but not as good as your fit. those blades are real good carbon steel.--cranky72

I like the domed pins.

Looks good Vince. I did a Green River ripper and a camp knife.....

I like it, bet it would be handy in the kitchen. I could see it setting nicely on a cheese board.

Looks like you could shave with it, patch knife/straight razor.
