This was an experiment to see how a cast pinecone would look in a knife handle. I'm not crazy about the color...it was supposed to be bronze but I messed up the mix. Decided to make a folding linerlock to put it on. Here's the specs on the knife:
Blade- ATS34 stainless steel; 2.375" tip to handle
Liners - jeweled titanium
Backspacer -fileworked (vine) ATS34
Overall length 6.125"; 3.625" closed
Here's my question:
If I do this again, should I use silmar again for casting, or would alumilite be a better choice? I'm wondering which is tougher and will hold up better to use in a knife handle.
Any responses or comments are appreciated and thanks for taking a look! -Phil
