I've been wanting to make a little knife I could carry around. I came up with this little guy. At 5 1/2" , it's small enough to carry around in a sheath in my pocket. OAL 5 1/2" Blade 2" ATS34 Ivory micarta with box elder inlay and bolsters

When working with buffalo horn against metal, I have had success shaping the bolsters first and then grinding the horn down to the metal. Then I hand sand using a piece of leather as a backing, and then buff lightly. With corby rivets, I grind them down with a coarse belt to keep the heat down...

Just to throw in my own 2 cents, I personally enjoy working with buffalo horn, and have not found it difficult to finish with bolsters. The only thing I dislike about it is the smell while grinding it down. Sorry Walt, I don't know how to flatten it. You could just buy some more of it since...

Nice knife. I really like the sheath.

My brother got a deer this morning and my dad got to test out the knife. He said it was the best skinner he's ever used. I checked the edge today and it felt as sharp as when I gave it to him. :biggrin:

I made a knife with Macassar just a few weeks ago. I was unaware of problems with shrinking until reading this thread. I'll keep an eye on it.

My dad seemed to really like it. Hopefully he will get to test it out soon. Muzzleloader season is starting up. Thanks for all the positive feedback.
