Just another knife ( kinda)

[Billy Helton]

This is a little random pattern Hunter. The handle material is a norway spruce cone stabilized by Pat Ankrom. it was a little funkey working with and I decided to put a iron wood frame in between for a little contrast and support. The 1/4 slabs were a little more flexible than I liked, but after the iron wood, it was sturdy. It made it through the chop test in the back yard for about 30 minutes.

Thanks for the looks.

Wow, facinating handle material! A pine cone handle.... I have seen it all now... much prettier than I would have imagined...

Beautiful knife, sir!

Billy,
Very nice, love the texture of the handle and the file work on the blade ties it all together. Wade

I know this is sort of an older post, but damn, that was a cool idea. The blade is very nice, and the handle is over the top. I would have never thought of that. Good one, for sure.
