Think I have a new favorite skinning knife

I have a knife with a broken handle so I pulled out some antique Ivory from my collection and put this together. Custom to fit Rt hand. The Rt side of the handle is a bit longer to keep the finger hold from rubbing my finger and the Lt side has been shaped to my thumb rest. I epoxy'ed a towel through both pin holes and the flats. Should hold well but if it doesn't I will use brass pins. Then polish and do a bit of scrimshaw on the handles.

This is a wood working forum. Nothing about ivory, steel or such.
To be properly punished you must send that knife to me for proper disposal. ;)

Actually, very neat. I like. :thumb:
I believe your 'towels' should hold alright.
I have used brazing rod. Cheap and tough.
