Boone's Lick field grade
« on: February 19, 2014, 11:33:00 AM »
I just finished this one to be delivered at the upcoming knife show here in Arkansas. This knife will be used for finishing off hogs.    :scared:

Ya' know, we often put a lot of time and effort into making these things all sweet and "special", but that type of finish right there is all I need to like a knife.

That's a great piece of handle material. Cool knife.

Thank you Karl. I feel the same. The gentleman who wants this knife did not ask for embellishments. I went ahead and added a touch of detail to the spacer and used some of my best Ironwood. It's been a while since I've made a Boone's Lick and I forgot how nice they feel in hand.

Thanks guys.

Another great looking knife, I'm sure it'll finish off a lot of hogs. Like the shape of that handle and a beautiful piece of ironwood.

Oh how I laugh at my limited skills.  Your field grade is my diamond encrusted gold.  Very, very nice.

Awesome knife! I really enjoy seeing the pics of your work.  One of these days I'll have to get one for myself!
