I know things are supposed to be bigger down here in Texas but I have found some exceptions. Got to do some trout bummin' up in big sky country back in the 70's. Sure nothing down here like those fine fish.
My buddy Doug Campbell sent me some Montana Big Horn sheep horn, amongst other treasure, saying I had a "fertile mind" and might be able to use it. Kind of thinking he was saying I had snakes in my head.
Had my friend Rainy Raven forge this blade to my spec's from a 3/4" round bar of 5160. I mortised it into Osage. Couple 1/4" brass pins in bronze flanged bushings ( spare nose landing gear door hardware ) 1/4" barstock copper guard. Pinned the horn on with 3/32" bronze.
7 1/2" blade 13" overall 7/32" thick at the spine.
