Title: Old Hickory Cheater Blade
Post by: skullworks on July 07, 2008, 07:36:00 AM
A lot of you probably remember the run in I had with an Old Hickory Cheater blade that resulted in me getting 31 stitches. Well here is the final products, and it fought me until the end. Had some problems with the lanyard tube which split the scales but a little epoxy and all is good. The handle is bloodwood and purpleheart. Copper, nickel, brass mosaic pins with a copper lanyard tube. Blade is cold blue and wicked sharp! Enjoy!

Orginally...

Now that looks "sharp"    :thumbsup:      :clapper:    

I have a big Old Hickory butcher that is one of my favorites.

Jeremy is making me a "montain man" style sheath so it can be a "carrying" knife!!!!!
