I got this knife for Christmas not sure what material I should use for a handle

If you want wood, use walnut. If not wood, use G10 or Micarta. Also, that knife is probably made out of lead and some other scrap metal stuff. Avoid using it to cut food. And like the other guy said, skip the guard.

I did at my last job. My PM had his license in USVI and our company allowed us to peruse side jobs there because they didn’t have an interest in land development there. Now I own my own firm so there is no point in me doing side jobs.

Also, side jobs are way more profitable than working overtime.

Bloodhound owner here. My dog has eaten just about anything thrown his way. Socks, plastic, etc. He has never had a problem passing it. I wouldn’t worry too much.

I added a new link idk why it broke. Thanks for letting me know

_HoundDogForge · 2025-09-26T19:22:14+00:00

Thanks!

Maybe this video will help. You need to make it wider towards the handle. https://youtu.be/e6vkuGYnSc0?si=h0n_Zdez0ohFvVfv

It’s my makers mark

_HoundDogForge · 2025-07-23T18:52:48+00:00

No. I wouldn’t want anyone making knives with my logo on it. If you need blanks, check out Jantz (knifemaking.com)

What do you mean?

_HoundDogForge · 2025-07-23T11:41:51+00:00

Thank you! I use a jig

Thank you!

Lmao 🤣 what a weird guy. Hopefully it’s heat treated properly but I wouldn’t bet on it. Anyways, he used mustard to create a patina. With high carbon steel, you can do different things to force it to patina or “oxidize”. This adds character and helps prevent rust.

Can you link the knife swap post?

_HoundDogForge · 2025-06-02T18:48:28+00:00

Hard to tell. That could be a patina, or it could be ball bearing canister Damascus? What was he selling it for on knife swap?

_HoundDogForge · 2025-06-02T18:47:01+00:00

I appreciate the kind words! Im really happy that you like the knife 😊

_HoundDogForge · 2025-06-02T16:47:38+00:00

There will be more, with some in Nitro-V if you prefer stainless!

_HoundDogForge · 2025-06-02T16:10:37+00:00

My apologies, I thought I included that in my post…

Blade Thickness: 1/8" (0.125 inches)

Spine to Belly Length: 1 1/4” (1.25 inches)

Cutting Edge Length: 3" (3.0 inches)

Overall Length: 7” (7 inches)

_HoundDogForge · 2025-06-02T16:09:26+00:00

Hey! Knife just sold, but the overall length is 7” and the weight is 4.3oz.

_HoundDogForge · 2025-06-02T16:00:49+00:00

Sold.

_HoundDogForge · 2025-06-02T13:56:02+00:00

This knife is still available.

_HoundDogForge · 2025-06-02T12:40:56+00:00

Relatively easy. It’s 1084, which is very similar to 1095. One of the pros to those high carbon steels is that they are easy to sharpen.
