Custom Casstrom saw
As you can get replacement casstrom blades on eBay for just £14 I thought I'd have a go at making up a handle and sheath as you can see from the photos the handle is a piece of Corian kitchen worktop which I have split with a saw two thirds of the way through to allow the blade to slide in. The 3 pins are 2mm nickel silver and everything has been Araldited in place.
You might think that this handle looks quite thin between the fingers but I have taken no steel away from the handle profile it is just that the production handle is larger than the blade by a couple of millimetres all the way around. You can see that I skived a small flap of leather from the inside of the sheath to hide the Sam Brownie stud screw also everything was treated with my beeswax and linseed oil solution after dying. Cheers for looking guys
