design, shaping, finishing, leatherwork
i wanted to experiment with drilled handle and narrow tang style in miniature form.
this was a quick stock removal project and also one of the first times using bone as part of a handle.
the blued steel blade was finished with a brass guard, walnut wood handle, bone end cap, and hand-stitched leather sheath with heat-branded design.
