Here's some farrier rasp knives I did recently. All but one of these are sold. The one that's not sold is one of the mesquite-handled knives. So those four have mesquite handles. The sharpfinger has an antler handle. Originally, I was going to leave the rough part of the antler on it. I stained it with coffee and everything, had it looking good, but when I attached it to the blade, it was way too thick, so I ground it down and shaped it. I like how it turned out.
These three I made for a guy who plans to give them away for Christmas presents. I won't mention who because that might ruin the element of surprise. I made the fourth one just because I usually make two knives out of each farrier rasp, and I figured, why not? Besides, in case I mess one up, I'd have an extra.
I screwed up the sheath I made for this sharpfinger while I was making the holes for the stitching. It was quite the bummer because it was a beautiful sheath, and I didn't think I had any rattle snake skin left to do another. But luck would have it that I did, so this was the second attempt.
I had a hard time photographing the handle of this knife, but I thought it looked really cool.
Besides this little pit in the blade, it was a pretty clean farrier rasp.
