Looking for a knife maker
(1/1)

Hey folks,
Long story short my grandfather recently passed. Was hoping to find someone that can take a piece of fabric from his old hunting clothes & have it made into part of a handle for a nice hunting knife.
I was thinking a cool piece of wood & then a stripe/stripes or piece of his old camo in the handle.
I like a drop point blade & a finger guard but nothing too big. Prefer spines on the back of the blade for grip.
I’m not a metallurgist but would like a good strong blade that holds an edge well & would be my primary blade for skinning & gutting 4 legged critters.
Ideally a kydex sheath as well.
Sam Harper:
Sorry for your loss.
I think a good idea would be to make some micarta out of the fabric. I wish I could help you. I've made my own micarta before, and it's an easy process. Unfortunately, I put all my tools in storage to take a job out of state, so I'm not making knives these days. Just thought I'd suggest an idea.

Any luck in finding a maker to take on the project?
