Besides the spoon in the previous post, I also did a new handle for my Cold Steel Trailhawk.
Everything was done with my carving axe.
Surprisingly it was easier then expected.
This is the piece I brought back from the forest yesterday.
Chopping the rough shape.
Then the rest was done by shaving it mostly.
Half way there.
Done !
It will most likely shrink a bit, but thats ok. The top part i left quite wide, and even if it still shinks too much so the head goes off, then I will try to make it again, but this time only with the trailhawk head, and directly in the forest.
It will be a nice challenge for at the fire on a trip 🙂
Here a short video where I test it out on pieces of 3 year dried oak wood.
