Helle Harding w/ new handle

Helle Harding blade w/ corn cob handle, metal spacer/guard, and antler on the back tip. She's beautiful! Very happy with how it turned out.

Now on Instagram

So what knife?

Found this post from Jack Mountain Bushcraft school and it pretty much sums it all up... If you eat a great meal at a restaurant, is the type of spatula the cook used responsible for the taste of the food If you see a beautiful house, how important is the type of hammer the builder used to the final structure? If someone has a beautiful website, do you ask them what kind of keyboard they used? Why all the hype about outdoor knives, then? Get a good knife (don’t join the never-ending search for the “best”, because you’ll never find it), then learn how to use it. Remember that it’s the user, not the tool, that’s important. - See more at: http://www.jackmtn.com/simplog/bushcraft-gear-hype/#sthash.bnvkEb8y.dpuf

Made this one for myself. Plan on making it my standard 5" bladed knife.
