What's the size of these? Intended to be a pocket carry?

Thanks, a nifty little knife.

That turned out nice!! I’m planning to make a kabar at some point with a stacked leather handle. I may have to get some pointers from you.

That is a neat project. I may have to come up with my own version to play with. I did some neck knives a while back based on a Murray Carter design and I found one the other day which had me thinking of revisiting the idea. Thanks for the inspiration.

That’s a good looking Scagel…

Thanks Dennis! Did you make other Scagles other than the one you did early on?

I have made a few of them.

Sweet. You should do a WIP on the handle glue up. That thing is nice

I can tell you it’s a lot of messy work and a lot of pieces but once it’s done it doesn’t seem so bad. I just received a sheet of sole leather which is already compressed. I think it will work better than sheath leather.

Your craftsmanship is superb, what an eye for style and detail!
Did you place a nut on the tang and then attached the antler piece on with a screw, or is it the reverse of that?

A WIP is in order...

Thank you very much. I drilled a hole in the end of the tang and then cut a slot to insert a #6 bolt. Then counter sink and attach the antler with a washer and a nut I like doing it this way because I can get good clamping pressure and line up.
