Title: Wind River knives
Post by: EIEIO on August 03, 2013, 03:26:16 pm

Here are a couple of knives bought as kits from Woodcraft.

The Skinner handles are 3/8" Padauk. Blade is 2" long stainless.
The Tanto handles are 1/4" red oak. Blade is 6" long stainless. Very nice weight for a utility knife in the kitchen.

Both were polished with red rouge. The Padauk polished to a soft glow. Note how the porous oak grain has accepted the rouge and made a nice looking finish (IMHO).

Both are epoxied and pinned with screw rivets that came with the kit.

I bought these knives a few months back during a sale at Woodcraft. The kits sold for $10 each at the time. Thanks to Billthediver for the lead.

Here's a sheath for the Tanto blade. Woodcraft did not have a sheath for it and it is a little long for Hobby Lobby sheaths.
