Title: Jawbone knife, sheath and engraving
Post by: pbr on April 23, 2015, 03:13:00 PM

Here are some pictures of the custom sheath by Rowes leather, and engraving on the butt and bolster.

I usually don't care for jaw bone handles but this one has a lot of nice features. I really like the way the butt cap and spacer cover the teeth row. It is a very interesting knife. Sort of a blend of old and new which I like.

I'm with Lin.  This isn't really my cup of tea, but it is very well executed.  The engraving is great.  If it were stag or plain bone, I would really really like it.  I know some guys like this style and whichever one of them ends up with it is going to be a happy camper.

I had it made for me, stag and wood handles were just too common for me, wanted something different so went with the whole whitetail theme. I will say without the stain I would not have been interested at all in a natural white jawbone handle. The coloring with the stain is like exhibition grade wood almost. The jawbone also kind of determined the thickness of the handle and I really like the thinner handle and the shape gives it some real character as you can see with the shape of the butt cap.

I forgot to mention that the engraving is very nice. The hand sanded blade and the engraving really contrasts with the jaw bone which adds to it's appeal for me. I've gone back and look at it several times.

I like it it uses the back part of the jaw bone which makes for a better handle I like it alot
