The knife shown below is typically called a Clicker knife in leatherworking. I would like to recreate this knife handle for some gifts and was hoping someone may have ideas on how to go about fabricating it.
My first thoughts was to:
Somehow machine a groove in a square stock of brass. Heat the handle and squeeze the bottom together closed. Sand down the bevels, drill and tap the screw holes.
I don’t have a mill so making the groove will be an issue but I could bring it down to a local shop for that. Thoughts about my process? Any other ways to approach this?
Much appreciated.
