This being "On The Cheap" I thought this to be a perfect fit. Reshaped old carbon steel butcher knife that I was given, with scales that came from a pallet board that my nephew brought home free! ;D Only costs were 3 pieces of music wire for pins and a bit of colored epoxy! YEP that's right I am a cheap skate.

nice job ! what`d you stain the handle scales with ?
Mr Beowulf, I used Homer Danglers stains (Jim Klien sells them). Two coats of the most horrible Orange "toner" then some of the Red stain. It works well to bring out the figure.
Cheap Is not only but in case SWEEEET
Very cool!
