Ben teaches you how to make a handle for a traditional style mocotaugan crook knife. This ancient design places a special emphasis on the handle, carving it to fit the individual hand. Ben takes you from choosing the type of wood through carving, designing, to the finished tool ready for use.

That was an exceptional presentation .. Never seen exactly how they were suppose to be put together. Your blades look to be as good as it gets as well. Thanks

Nice video. I have a large collection of crooked knives from over a hundred years ago. I have also made a number of them over the years. I have yet to see a single video that captures the ergonomics of the old knives that were used daily.

Not to interrupt but Track of The Wolf sells some decent knife making goodies by the internet. Green River Blades, knife parts, etc.

If you live in the city, you may want to check Pet stores. I have seen antler in them for dog chew toys. It may take awhile till you find the perfect piece. How you work antler to make the groove for the blade i don't know as it is so hard. Bruce from the City of Orange in Orange county California USA
