Title: A donation to the archery club
Post by: RGK on January 11, 2008, 09:07:00 AM

A knife I made for our archery club as a door prize donation. I used 1/8 thick O1 steel, aluminum bolsters with brass pins, Cocobolo scales. And mosaic pins.

I made the pins using small alum. tubes in a larger brass tube, then filled the rest of the area is grey colored J.B. Weld.
