Potomac Forge Utility
« 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.

Cool. I really like your inlay work. Very crisp and beautiful.

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.
