THE Hollow Handle Knife Thread

[Sam Wilson]

You're making me blush Tom, which is quite an accomplishment after what happened in Tallahassee last year. The local newspaper showed me no mercy!

Here is my modified Cold Steel Bushman. I simply detested the vibration transmitted to my hand every time I whacked something, so I resolved to try and do something about it.

The completed prototype:



The handle was covered by a bit of 1.25-inch heat-shrink tubing, leaving enough room for the butt-cap.



Then half of a wine cork was driven into the handle, from butt toward the blade.



Step 3 was to paint both ends of the cork with flat black paint, hopefully waterproofing it.



The butt-cap is a shortened chair-leg cap.

I tested it by taking several whacks at a large chunk of wood. Vibration is significantly reduced. I have not yet tested the watertightness of the modification, but I am hopeful.

For some reason these knives keeping finding their way to my house. Been working with a local wood worker to come up with a one and done display buy not getting much traction with the project.

The Knapp is the most recent knife to find it's way here. Found that I could repack the magazine and get some quick tinder and a small button compass into it also.

The Wall Sunfish has been my hiking companion over the summer but can't wait to get some miles on the Knapp.
