Kelvin Wong's Julius Pettersson Knife

The following post was kindly supplied by Woodlore customer Kelvin Wong, who used the Julius Pettersson Knife Blade to create his own custom Bushcraft knife:
Hi everyone, I'd thought I'd share some photos of my new Julius Pettersson knife. It is my first attempt at knife handle making and I'd love to hear what you think. [caption id="attachment_3500" align="aligncenter" width="391" caption="Kelvin Wong's finished knife"]Kelvin Wong's finished knife[/caption] I used reindeer antler pieces, purple and white liners, and a piece of dyed box elder burl, with nickel silver end cap and bolster. The end piece of antler was a bit small and didn't polish up as pearly white as the front piece, but I am still quite happy with the results. Any comments/advice on how to improve would be appreciated! Kelvin Wong

Great job Kelvin. A beautiful combination of materials. A real classic. You have inspired me to make one myself too. What are you going to use as a sheath?

That’s a stunner.

Kelvin,

You appear to have made an excellent job of your knife handle & if this is your first attempt at this craft i woulld advise you to pursue it further. Well done!
