I purchased this back in late Dec or early January, I had planned on making a handle and finishing it back when I got it. But I wasn't able to get to it, till the beginning of May 2020. During the time I had before starting, I went through multiple styles of handles on paper. I don't really care for the traditional Mora shapes or materials for their handles. But, I finally decided on a shape and got all the materials together. I purchased some bronze for a bolster and started. As you can see from the pics it was all a process and very new to me. Even though I have been watching a ton of YouTube vids on how to put it together.Here are the materials:Morakniv no. 3 high carbon steel blank1/8" Thick bronze bar, cut to shapeReg maple wood I had on hand for the main body of the handle.Japanese maple for the handle accentsGorilla glue and epoxyBeeswax based finish for the handleBirch plywood for the internal wood part of the sheath.Veg tanned leather for the outer covering.And leather dye and saddle soap finish for the leather.I am very pleased with the outcome for my first try at this. The blade came razor sharp from the factory, beautiful and polished. I blued the blade once it was in the handle. The tang wasn't cut to make it shorter (which would be dumb to cut the tang shorter)!This knife was set at a slight angle, but in future ones I won't be doing that.Overall a great product! It's all up to you too make it what you want it to be!
