@KnivesSwitchblade,
To make hunting knife handle we need basic woodshop, Wood shop Sanders, Wood Band Saw, Metal Band Saw, Metal Sanders, Scribe, Files, Drill Press, Clamps, Pins Color spacers etc.
you dont really need a whole lot of tools. I use a hand coping saw after I trace a handle pattern on either walnut or quilted maple, or a segment of deer antler.
Drilling out the pin holes is the really tricky part. I use a hand jewelers drill with smaller drill bit that I need . You then need brass knife pins (available through many supply houses. I alo use gel super glue fter roughing up the tang of the knife.
Ive made several knives out of car and truck springs I got from a junk yard.
