Let's try this again...here are some pics of an unknown hollow handle knife of mine I think I paid either $75 or $175 for. It was made by a (then) friend's dad and details were sketchy. I had the black oxide re-done about 5 years ago. It owes me nothing and has been a great knife for the uses I've utilized it for.

Here's one I picked up on ebay thinking it was older than it was...
Your friend's dad made this knife? It seems very well done. Looks strong as an ox with that weld between the handle and the guard. I haven't seen sawteeth cut that deep into the blade before; how well does it cut? Nice knife!
Cool knife, 1SHOT. Sometimes knives with a crude finish can look mean as hell. I like it! :thumbup:
Thank you! It cuts real well. The saw teeth blaze through wood like nobodies business. I really need to have a proper edge put on it though.
My friend's Dad fancied himself a novice knife maker and when he died, my friend (knowing I was a knife nut) asked me if I was interested in purchasing in it. He didn't have life insurance and she needed the money. I had been on the hunt for a CRK one piece at the time and figured I'd help out my friend and score a knife in the process. I've had it ever since. (that was back in 96') I couldn't find a sheath maker, or anyone interested in making one, so when I found the Spec Ops sheath I picked one up. Now that I'm a member here I may have a kydex sheath made as an alternative. (I like having options)
I've always wanted to make a spear point with a hollow handle but, with the threads on the butcap made to match standard mop and broom handles. That way it could be easily made into a spear type weapon, just for fun.
Yes just like that with threads that will fit any standard broom handle
That's a good story, 1SHOT. Any idea what type of steel he used?
All the high-end custom knives on this thread, and I'm really digging this one, 1Shot! It's got character!
I am in the middle of a (long) process of making a hollow handle knife. My father has made quite a few knives before (no HH though) and is sort of taking the project over because I kind of stalled on it....I would love mine to turn out as nice as this one. Maybe I will post some pics of it to help get me moving along. Sam has already seen the pics. The fun part has been the hours spent conjuring what fashion to connect tang to handle.
