    Default Bog Oak Knife

    Hi

    Not sure which section of the forum to put this, tried one section but was told about this section so here goes: I have made a knife yesterday, being a blacksmith aprentice, but used Bog Oak for the handle. Wow what amazing stuff, I will try to put a picture up if I can. I just couldn't believe how nice it polishes up with a little bees wax from my bees of course.

    Sorry if they are blured!

    Knife close up:



    Kife with Sheath:



    Has anyone else used bog oak, if so what do you think of it?

    Does anyone else make knives?

    Cheers

    I mostly haft premade knives; never tried bog-oak, mostly use leather or native australian woods.

    You will probably get more specific mileage from one of the knife forums. I have found www.bladeforums.com to be good value.

    cheers
