Vagabond Boot Knife
« on: January 31, 2012, 07:19:00 PM »
On the same theme of the recently named hunter, I finished a boot knife. It is a double guard, knife with a 4 1/2 inch blade of damascus with a false edged clip. The guard is 416 stainless and the handle is Sambar Stag with hammered pins.

Wow!  That is beautiful, and the picture looks as if I could reach out and pick it right up off the screen.

That'll get stinky if you put it in your boot!

Thanks. If any of you are going to the Arkansas show (Feb 18 and 19th), you will see this on my table. If I still have it.    ;)
