With cartridge case head. Just for something a bit different I thought I would make a small size chopper, 6 inch blade, handle is white cedar branch cut on the diagonal and 222 case head covering the middle rivet
Blade steel is cut from circular saw blade that I made two large ones from 18 months ago.
I have been meaning to make a handle for a sgian-dubh. I have the blade, but can't get past the planning stages for the handle.
It should be antler, so that is one problem. One day I'll get around to it, I just don't have any wood working tools, so I feel like I am just hacking at wood each time I try.

Oh rito, just looking at the spelling of its name I thought it might have been some jungle bunny knife or one that injuns use. Plenty of bits of antler like those shown on ebay, cheap too, some are for dog chews others are points cut from antlers. It wouldnt be hard to drill down the middle and then just epoxy the blade in. But if you do want one with a wooden handle, I have some bits of mallee stick that could be made to fit, they are approx 1.5inches in diameter and could be shaved down some.
