Title: Potomac Forge Utility
Post by: Steve Nuckels on September 17, 2016, 04:08:00 PM

Wish I was creative enough to think of names for these knives, anyhow.

Here is a small knife made from an antique saw mill blade. Stained maple handle with silver wire inlay and elk antler finger guard with a little scrimshaw.

The knife is 8 inches OAL, 3 7/8th blade etched in ferric.

Thanks Todd,

The temper line came close to the edge, managed to keep a good edge!

That's my kind of blade right there, very well done. The elk antler guard is a very cool touch and looks very well with the handle / blade combo.

Great inlay work, and that guard is really top draw.

Don't worry about the names. With work this pretty no one cares what you call them, they're just going to say Wow!
