Carving a Knife Handle

A simple demonstration of how you can carve your own knife handle with just a few tools.
Handles should be carved from dry wood rather than green wood as you would do for spoons.

Thanks for this. Timely. I need to handle some blades for the first time.

Thanks so much! Feel free to contact me with any questions.

For anyone doing this for the first time-I recommend using dry wood (not green wood) for handles. Additionally it is good to know that handles can be removed/replaced easily with a single axe strike. 😊

Absolutely! Or roughed out green and left to dry for a good while. No one wants rusty tangs 😊.

Excellent, as usual Josh. I have a few of your handles and like every one of them. One esp. sticks out, a Bocote' handle and I'm going to talk to you about that one when my blade wears down too far! Hoping you can heat her up and sweat it out/replace the blade.... She's a favorite! ~ Whittlestix

Will certainly be glad to see what we can do about it!

Thanks for making such a concise video Josh. Just curious what glue do you like to use to affix the blade and split dowel once you're done carving the handle? Thx
