More Sheephorn and Damascus
« on: February 17, 2014, 12:44:00 AM »
Figured I better have one sheephorn knife for Arkansas. 4 3/4" Damascus blade, Damascus guard/spacers and Montana Bighorn.

She's a beauty, Doug.
Ought to jump off the table.
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

Great looking knife all around, like the shape of the handle.

Wow. That is one of my favorites of yours. Is it a frame handle or two pieces of horn mortised around a hidden tang?

Thanks guys, really appreciate the feedback.

It's kind of a frame Jeremy, got a piece of fluted black G10 tween the two sheep scales although I did have to mortise the scales a little.

I have not seen anyone do sheep horn handles as well as you Doug.  I have made a few and I can not get them close to looking this good.
