Warren, one night James and I were trading email and I asked..... have you ever made a sub-hilt?

Here is the first..... Mudbone leather.

Love that knife and what's not to like about Mud's work. How old is that one? Killer rig.

It says
"Make something cool,
and then put it in a Mudbone."

Steve thanks for the comments, glad you like them.
How bout a couple of re-handled Randall's with sub-hilts?
First one is a 1-7, copper hardware, Cooper Firearms gunstock handle. Second one is a 12-13 Thorpe, double sub-hilt, inspired by Bo's first sub-hilt Smithsonian. Handle is a FWI artifact tip that I had and it fit perfectly.
Mudbone leather for both.

Adding this Randall Triathlete rehandle to the thread. Very comfortable and user friendly with the sub hilt.

A couple of recently acquired sub-hilt fossil fighters dressed in Mudbone. It would appear these are similar vintage even though they came from different sellers.

Re: Sub Hilt Knives - 03/12/19 03:41 PM

I like that gentle recurve style. Good stuff overall.

Re: Sub Hilt Knives - 03/12/19 07:37 PM

Top one trips my trigger, but Damn those are awesome!

Re: Sub Hilt Knives - 03/12/19 07:49 PM

Rob,

Good eye for the recurve. Looks great on a long blade.

Chief,

Manly blades for sure. Thanks.

You are killing us you know. Outrageous in every respect. Any one of them would be a treasure to own. Very impressive.

Thanks Pap. The source built quite an impressive collection. Some of the best to come out of both Montana and Michigan.
